Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 15, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 15, 2018 The inaugural Goffs UK Goodwood Sale, held in partnership between the sales company and Goodwood Racecourse, will offer high-end horses-in-training and breeding stock on Aug. 1. Held during the Qatar Goodwood Festival, the sale will be the fifth offsite Goffs Group sale and follows on the heels of the successful Goffs London Sale, conducted on the eve of Royal Ascot every June. The auction will begin after the day’s racing, and is uniquely placed to appeal to both international clients and the domestic market, being in the middle of the flat season. “It’s a great initiative as the sale is perfectly timed for Australasian buyers,” said Australasian bloodstock agent Guy Mulcaster. “There is growing demand for international horses to race in the Spring Carnival, especially in races such as the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, and the date means horses can be purchased and quarantined making it logistically viable leading in to the Melbourne Spring Carnival.” Added Hong Kong bloodstock agent George Moore, “I travel the world searching for horses that suit racing in Hong Kong and this sale will be a welcomed prospect for our owners looking to fill their permits. Qualified and sound horses will allow me to be active at the Goodwood Sale.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
