A son of Kyllachy (GB) topped proceedings at £220,000, one of five lots on the day to make £150,000 or more. “For this year’s catalogue we set ourselves the goal of producing a concise line-up focused on quality,” said Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams. “We have worked hard over the last few months as nominations for this sale were higher than ever but, together with our consignors, we have achieved that goal with a first-class offering. We have been well supported with some lovely 2-year-olds, the sire profile is strong featuring big names from Europe and America and there are some outstanding Thoroughbred families represented. This is a catalogue that holds international appeal and the Goffs UK team and agents will be traveling the world over the coming weeks to promote it to a global audience.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
