Taking place on Tuesday, October 17, the sale’s yearling section contains 14 lots who are eligible for the Great British Bonus. It features entries by sires including Ardad, Earthlight, Harry Angel, Invincible Army, Land Force, Mohaather, Oasis Dream and Sergei Prokofiev. The session will also offer two lots who are eligible for Harry’s Half Million by Goffs.

The sale features mares in foal to Frontiersman (lot 85), Golden Horn (87) and Planteur (88), as well as some well-bred National Hunt youngstock. They include  John Lightfoot's four entries (90 to 93) as part of a dispersal.

Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said: "The October Sale offers buyers their last chance at securing a Donny yearling in 2023 and with almost half the yearlings eligible for the Great British Bonus, buyers can purchase in the hopes of picking up their share of significant additional prize-money on the track. 

"We also catalogue some attractive young National Hunt stock, with entries by the likes of Flemensfirth, Getaway, Jack Hobbs and Walk In The Park, so there is plenty of quality to capture the attention of buyers."
