Yearlings from the first crop of champions Gleneagles and Muhaarar are among 501 horses catalogued for the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, which takes place on August 28-29.

The presence of four yearlings by Gleneagles, who was champion juvenile and won both the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes at three, and the same number by Shadwell's champion sprinter of 2015 Muhaarar, illustrate how much the Doncaster sale has grown and developed in recent years.

Tony Williams, managing director of Goffs UK, said: "We believe it is the best catalogue we have put together for the Premier Yearling Sale and we are really looking forward to the sale.

"The catalogue has only gone online but already the reaction we have received is very positive. This will be my third Premier Yearling Sale, but from before my time at Goffs UK, it has been a very well-supported sale across the years.

"The domestic support is unwavering and now the sale has gained international recognition with buyers attending from all over the world."

Laurens, successful in this year's Group 1 Prix de Diane and Prix Saint-Alary as well as in last year's Group 1 Fillies' Mile, was sold at the 2016 Premier Yearling Sale.
