Horses-in-training sale brings curtain down on Goffs UK year
Recent chase winner Generator City among the 110 catalogued lots
A catalogue of 110 horses in training has been assembled for the one-day Goffs UK December Horses in Training Sale, the company's final auction of the year which takes place from 11am on Friday.
Among the entries are the Denis Hogan-trained Generator City (48), a supplementary entry who won a novice chase at Clonmel in October, while this year's Ascot Stakes scorer The Grand Visir (49), a likely candidate for the Dubai carnival in the spring, will now be offered at the Goffs UK January Sale.

Other supplementary entries include the five-year-old Sageburg gelding Isidor Bonheur Yes (13), who struck twice on the level in France before his transfer to David O'Meara, and the four-year-old Westerner gelding The Wild Westerner (27), an unraced full-brother to dual winner Iskabeg Lane currently in training with Denis Hogan.
Further eye-catching lots include the Willie Mullins-trained Golazo (52), a son of Beat Hollow who made a winning chase debut at Tramore in October, and the two-time winner King And Queen (73), a three-year-old Le Havre colt trained by Mark Johnston.
Tony Williams, who will oversee his final sale as managing director of Goffs UK on Friday, said: "The December Horses in Training Sale is our last sale of the year and will cap what has been a very good year for our horses-in-training sales with a number of new records set."
