Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 9, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 9, 2019 The autumn yearling sales schedule has been tweaked in the UK and Ireland following feedback from consignors and buyers, Goffs announced on Tuesday. The Goffs UK Doncaster September Sale has been expanded with the addition of a new yearling session, and will be known as the September HIT & Yearling Sale. Sept. 17 will be dedicated to yearlings, while the horses-in-training will follow the day after. As a result, the Doncaster Autumn Sale on Oct. 24 will no longer hold its yearling session, avoiding a clash with the Arqana October Yearling Sale. The Goffs Autumn Yearling & HIT Sale has been rescheduled to Oct. 21-22, instead of Nov. 5-6, avoiding a scheduling conflict with the Breeders’ Cup and the November sales in Kentucky. “Feedback from vendors and purchasers alike last year prompted a review of our Autumn dates on both sides of the Irish Sea,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “We are committed to providing attractive, low cost outlets for yearling vendors at the commercial end of the market whilst the Goffs HIT Sale definitely suffered last year with its proximity to events in USA. At the same time the Doncaster September HIT Sale is already well supported with major consignments so the addition of a yearling session will ensure exposure for those yearlings to the sale’s existing buyers.” For the complete revised 2019 sales schedule, go to www.goffs.com and www.goffsuk.com.
