Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby commented:
“This sale is a must for owners impatient to get racing and get winning, and the title of Ready to Run proved to be as accurate as ever in 2010 with winners flowing less than a month after the sale.
We are delighted to see our decision to hold the sale later this year vindicated as our vendors have supplied us with some truly top class two year olds to sell at Europe’s premier Breeze Up venue. Polytrack is the fairest and most consistent surface to view the two year olds in their paces, while Kempton’s proximity to London and Heathrow makes it very convenient for international and London based clients who will find the Goffs Breeze Up at Kempton a unique event combining business with pleasure”.
