Goffs Point To ‘Incredibly Strong Demand For Places’ At Doncaster Breeze-Up Sale

[Wandering Eyes]

Goffs has released the catalogue for the Doncaster Breeze-Up Sale, which has been a source of 11 Royal Ascot winners throughout the past decade. 

This year's sale will take place on Tuesday 21 April and Wednesday 22 April and features a typically strong book with stallions like Mehmas, No Nay Never, Starman, Havana Grey, Lope De Vega, Night Of Thunder and Too Darn Hot all represented. 

Goffs UK Managing Director Tim Kent said, “A strike rate of 110% for Royal Ascot wins in the last 10 years is a phenomenal statistic for any catalogue, let alone one that sells only around 200 horses a year. It's that unrivalled performance that has driven this sale to new heights, setting records across the board last year, headlined by the £1,000,000 top price.

“The Doncaster Breeze-Up's seat at the top table has been hard earned and feedback from our inspectors is that our vendors have delivered a catalogue that builds on those successes. Following last year's superb results, demand for places in the sale has been incredibly strong and due to the high standard of nominations, we have seen the number catalogued increase on last year to 233 two-year-olds, which is also just two less than was catalogued in 2024.”

He added, “We have already begun canvassing buyers, having travelled throughout the Middle East and had a very good response. We will continue our visits throughout the UK and Europe in the coming weeks, and we look forward to welcoming an international audience to Doncaster in April.”

The Goffs Breeze Up Sale at Doncaster will see the two-year-olds breeze on Doncaster racecourse on Tuesday 21 April from 8.30am with the sale to be held the following day on Wednesday 22 April from 10am. For more information on the sale, please contact the Goffs UK team on +44 (0)1450 372222.
