A TOTAL of 16 Irish point-to-pointers and one French bumper winner are due to be offered for sale after racing at Newbury today [Saturday]. There are 13 point-to-point winners in the catalogue and they include Kindly Prince, a 16-length winner at Lingstown last weekend for in-form handler Jonathan Fogarty.

The Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale returned to Newbury last year and saw a top price of £200,000. In 2013 the equivalent sale saw Un Temps Pour Tout sell for £450,000. He went on to win at two Cheltenham Festivals.

Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said: “We have had a very good response to the Coral Gold Cup Sale from the point-to-point handlers and have assembled a strong catalogue of horses to offer on Saturday. The sale got off to a great start last year and that has given vendors added confidence in the venue this time around.

“Last week saw graduates from last year’s inaugural sale notch up a winning double courtesy of The Bluesman for Paul Nicholls and First Confession for Joe Tizzard, so it’s an exciting time for this young sale, both in the ring and on the track, and we look forward to seeing everyone at Newbury on Saturday.”
