Topping proceedings at the Goffs UK Yorton Sale was a yearling colt by Blue Bresil (Fr) as lot 38. The bay is out of SP hurdler Hora (GB) (Hernando {Fr}) and brought £60,000 from Highflyer/NJ Henderson.
Of the 36 horses offered, 28 sold (78%) for a gross of £602,000. The average of £21,500 dropped -12% and the median was £21,000 (+5%).
“Holding any sale during the COVID era has presented us with additional challenges, and none more than this unique sale which is very different to any other,” said Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent. “But that is the appeal of the Yorton Sale and we are delighted with what we have achieved with David Futter and his team.
“The Yorton team had managed to compile a selection of horses that had significantly improved from last year's sale, both physically and on paper, and this fact was not lost on purchasers who helped to achieve a 78% clearance rate which is a positive result in any year.”
