Vendor feedback sees further change of date for Goffs Orby Sale

Goffs have made a minor adjustment to the schedule of next month's Orby Sale in order to maximise opportunities for both vendors and potential buyers.

The auction, which has been relocated to the Doncaster sales complex for 2020, will now be staged on September 30 and October 1, allowing vendors an extra 24 hours between the event and Tattersalls Book 1 the following week.

The change of date came as a result of consultation with a number of leading vendors.

Goffs group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "Feedback from a wide range of Orby vendors since Friday was that the timing between Orby and Tattersalls Book 1 was too tight and we were asked to revisit the dates both for vendor logistics and to ensure every lot receives the full attention of the maximum number of potential purchasers for the most time.

"At this difficult time we are mindful of working for everyone in the industry and so, after discussing the matter at length with Edmond Mahony at Tattersalls, we have decided to move the Orby Sale back 24 hours.

"Every hour counts for these world-class yearlings and we have listened carefully to the feedback that has come from all our vendors, many of whom will also be selling the following week."

The Goffs Sportsman Sale will take place a week earlier from September 24 to 25.
