'It features some outstanding horses' - Goffs Doncaster Breeze-Up Sale catalogue revealed

The catalogue for the Goffs Breeze-Up Sale at Doncaster is now online and will take place between April 23 and 24, with the breeze on the Wednesday and the auction the next day.

The sale has amassed an outstanding Royal Ascot record, with nine winners in the last eight years, including Bradsell in last year's King's Stand Stakes, following on from his Coventry victory the following season, in addition to Perfect Power, a winner of the Commonwealth Cup and Norfolk Stakes. 

Recent leading graduates of the sale include 2023 Rockfel Stakes winner Carla's Way, as well as black-type winners Beautiful Diamond, also placed in the Queen Mary, Graceful Thunder and Tiger Belle.

Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said: “It is a proud boast that the Doncaster Breeze-Up has been on an upward trajectory for some time now and last year it really made a statement by achieving the highest level of trade in its history. 

"Following that, and Bradsell claiming our ninth Royal Ascot win in the last eight years, we received over 1,000 nominations for places, the most we have ever received, and the resulting catalogue features some outstanding horses.

"The attraction of a winner at Royal Ascot is a huge driver for many when it comes to racehorse ownership and this sale’s success there has grown its international following to a new level, so we will be working hard over the coming weeks to ensure we attract another large and diverse buying bench."
