GOFFS UK managing director Tim Kent issued a call to vendors following the completion of his company’s one-day sale of horses in training and yearlings on Tuesday, saying “we are here, we are ready, but we need the horses.”

He added: “Today’s sale acted as an outlet for trainers and yearling vendors to trade stock at all levels of the market, and whilst we are satisfied with the level of trade, we are aware that we need to do something to encourage vendors to sell a greater number of horses at this sale.
