Goffs UK December Sale at Doncaster concluded with Friday's horses-in-training session which saw 60 horses sell, topped by Juddmonte Farms' Herculean (Frankel {GB}) (Lot 76). The 5-year-old, out of the Group-1 winner African Rose (GB) (Observatory), sold to Stuart Williams on behalf of Tom Morley for £38,000. The chestnut is a full-brother to Group 3 winner Fair Eva (GB).
The single-day session realized an aggregate of 389,800 from 60 head sold. The session average was 6,497, with a median of 3,750. The clearance rate was 78%.
“Today's sale ends what has been another fantastic year for Goffs UK with new records set in the yearling, point-to-point and horses-in-training markets-the latter seeing a world record set for a NH horse-in-training with Interconnected selling for £620,000 at the Doncaster Spring Sale,” said Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams, who heads back to his native Australia later this month after serving in his final sale. “This month also completes my time as Managing Director of Goffs UK and I would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who has made my time in the UK such a memorable experience.”
