Goffs UK's two-day January Sale at Doncaster wrapped up on Wednesday with a National Hunt mare and foal session. A top price of £100,000 was achieved for Hurst Farm's stakes-winning Legacy Gold (Ire) (Gold Well {GB}) (lot 308), who was bought by Eamonn Phelan, and the top price of £66,000 for a foal–a Kayf Tara colt–was a record for the sale. The colt (lot 178) was bought by Aiden Murphy.

The mare and foal session posted an average that was up 30% at £11,665 and a median that was up 25% at £7,500, while the clearance rate was 71%. The sale as a whole saw 230 sold (76%) for £2,710,600 (up 90%) at an average of £11,785 (up 40%) and a median of £6,500 (up 30%).

Goffs UK Chairman Henry Beeby and Managing Director Tony Williams said, “The last two days have been an excellent start to 2017 with growth in every area of the Doncaster January Sale. Our day one horses-in-training returned a vibrant sale from start to finish with massive rises in every statistic to demonstrate, yet again, that Doncaster is the measure of any venue for the category.”

“Today's National Hunt foals also enjoyed a strong trade especially for those stand-out lots with the looks and pedigree to most recommend them. Doncaster has always been a rich source of top-class National Hunt potential and we are confident that several of today's foals will make their mark in future sales and then on the racecourse.”
