Slight Change To Goffs London Sale

Due to renovations being undertaken at The Orangery, this year's Goffs London Sale will take place in slightly different surroundings. While the address for the fifth renewal of the sale, Kensington Palace, remains the same, the auction will now be held on the greenfield Perks Field site in Kensington Palace Gardens, as usual on the eve of Royal Ascot June 18. The sale has provided some stunning results in its history to date, including selling a Classic winner in Jet Setting (Ire) (Fast Company {Ire}) for £1.3-million in 2016 and Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby is looking forward to building on that success in two months time.

“We have been thrilled with how the sale has developed and grown since 2014 with numerous success stories to come out of it, but we are always looking to improve and refine it each year,” Beeby said. “As we prepare for the fifth sale, the new site will allow us to create something bespoke and as a shop window on the eve of the most global race meeting in the world, we want to provide a spectacular experience for those who attend whether they are a new or existing buyer,” he added.

Goffs have stepped up the recruitment process for the sale to ensure another quality catalogue and as in previous years QIPCO are the title sponsor of the event and their representative David Redvers said, “As we always believed it would, the Goffs London Sale has established itself as a key event in the season and the perfect way to start Royal Ascot week. It is bringing new investors into the sport by providing them with the opportunity to own a Royal Ascot runner. As title sponsors, we are delighted with how the sale has developed and we very much look forward to this year's renewal.”
