GOFFS UK, formerly Doncaster Bloodstock Sales, are holding their third Aintree Sale of horses in training on Aintree racecourse at Liverpool during the Grand National Meeting next week.

They expect to offer a good selection of recent winners, mostly point-to-pointers. Horses sold at the two previous sales include Grade 1 star Samcro and three other graded winners.

The auction will be held in the winner’s enclosure on Thursday, April 12th, with entries available for viewing on the Aintree racecourse from 1pm on the Wednesday and all day on the Thursday, so that buyers can attend that afternoon’s racing before selling begins at about 6pm.

The sires of the entries include many of this season’s leading NH sires, among them Oscar, Scorpion, Mahler, Westerner, Kayf Tara, Kalanisi, Stowaway, Walk In The Park, Al Namix, Gold Well, etc.

Supplementary entries were still being taken when this preview went to press and lot numbers were not yet available. In many cases, videos of the entries’ latest races and comments on running can be found on the Goffs UK website.
