The Orangery at Kensington Palace has been confirmed as the venue for Goffs London Sale which will take place on the eve of Royal Ascot, Monday 16 June 2014.
The stunning central London location was chosen following widespread consultation between Goffs and potential purchasers.
Classically bred breezers will be offered alongside a limited number of top class horses in training, some of which will hold an entry at the Royal meeting.
The sale provides vendors with a superb outlet for quality horses at a time and location ideal for the major international bloodstock buyers in London for Royal Ascot.
Announcing the sale venue, Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:
“The Orangery at Kensington Palace is one of the most beautiful venues in London and the timing on the eve of the world’s most prestigious race meeting should ensure that Royal Ascot week 2014 begins in some style.
Our focus will be on a small but select group of top class horses that reflect the quality of the racing that week. This is one of the most exciting recent additions to the global sales calendar and will be promoted extensively around the world by the Goffs team”.
Breezing will take place during the weekend immediately prior to the sale on the Polytrack at Kempton Park racecourse, where all horses will be stabled and available for inspection on Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. During the auction there will be a live audio and visual link between the two venues with spotters also located at Kempton to take bids.
Further details will be announced in the coming weeks.
