'We are thrilled to be returning again next month' - Goffs and Newbury racecourse announce return of Coral Gold Cup Sale

After the successful launch of the Coral Gold Cup Sale last year, Goffs and Newbury racecourse have announced the auction will return next month. 

Last year’s inaugural sale saw 13 of the 18 sold horses achieve six-figure prices and produce an average of £119,167. There will be improvements to the event, with horses to be stabled in the racecourse stables and the sale to be held in the pre-parade ring, opposite the owners and trainers’ facility.

Shaun Hinds, chief executive of Newbury racecourse, said: "The Coral Gold Cup meeting is an iconic weekend and the highlight of our jumps season here at Newbury. Year on year the meeting attracts top quality National Hunt horses, and leading owners and trainers alike. Following the success of last year’s Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale, we are delighted to be able to support Goffs once again this year following the conclusion of what is set to be a fantastic two days racing."

Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent added: "Last year’s sale saw us return to Newbury after a 10-year absence and it was a resounding success, the feedback we received from vendors and buyers was overwhelmingly positive so we are thrilled to be returning again next month.

"Once again, the Newbury team have been enthusiastic and proactive partners and have worked with us to deliver what we hope will be an even better experience for vendors and buyers alike. We will be canvassing for entries at the upcoming UK and Irish point-to-points and the catalogue will be released in the build-up to the sale."

The sale will take place after racing on Saturday, November 30.
