Goffs UK managing director Tony Williams said: "Every year the Silver Sale produces some very smart horses and 2019 has been no different having enjoyed Stakes winners in America, Hong Kong and Ireland thus far this season.

"Each year we see more buyers stay after the Premier Sale for the Silver Sale the following day and last year was one of the best in terms of attendance with a number of major owners, trainers and agents onsite which led to vendors supporting the sale with a stronger selection this year."
