The second edition of the Coral Gold Cup Sale will take place during Newbury's feature meeting on Saturday, November 30, Goffs announced in partnership with the racecourse on Thursday.
Of the 18 horses sold at the inaugural sale, 13 achieved a six-figure sum and the average was £119,167. Staged on the same day as the £250,000 Coral Gold Cup, the sale will see changes this year with plans in place to hold it in the pre-parade ring, right opposite the owners and trainers' facility. The horses will also be stabled in the racecourse stables.
Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said, “Last year's sale saw us return to Newbury after a 10-year absence and it was a resounding success. The feedback we received from vendors and buyers was overwhelmingly positive so we are thrilled to be returning again next month.
“Once again, the Newbury team have been enthusiastic and proactive partners and have worked with us to deliver what we hope will be an even better experience for vendors and buyers alike. We will be canvassing for entries at the upcoming UK and Irish point-to-points and the catalogue will be released in the build-up to the sale.”
Shaun Hinds, chief executive of Newbury Racecourse, added, “The Coral Gold Cup meeting is an iconic weekend and the highlight of our jumps season here at Newbury. Following the success of last year's Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale, we are delighted to be able to support Goffs once again this year following the conclusion of what is set to be a fantastic two days' racing.”
