Middletown, NY — The 2020 Goshen Yearling Sale will be held on Sunday (Sept. 13) at the Mark Ford Training Center in Middletown, N.Y.
This is a real sweet spot for the sale this year as it’s slotted between the Yonkers International Trot and New York Sire Stakes finals at Yonkers Raceway which will be contested on Saturday (Sept. 12) and the New York Sire Stake consolations which will go at Monticello Raceway on Monday (Sept. 14).
With the sale being conveniently located between those two events, owners and trainers competing will have the opportunity to easily schedule and attend this sale.
Since 2015, the Goshen Yearling Sale has brought quality New York bred stock to the ring from the industry’s top breeders including Hanover Shoe Farms, Cameo Hills Farm, Winbak Farm and Blue Chip Farm.
Horses like Hickfromfrenchlick (So Surreal-My Girl’s A Star) p,3,1:48.4f ($638,677), Aflame Hanover (Russell Hanover-Applique Hanover) p,3,1:49.1f ($336,796), Groovy Joe (Roll With Joe-Chotat Milk) p,2,1:52f ($230,845) and Cigars And Port (So Surreal-Sweet On Art) p,2,1:54h ($192,351) are all alumni of this sale along with a host of other high speed, quality stakes winners.
The Goshen Yearling Sale has grown each year in both size and popularity and has become a favorite venue for both the buyer and consignor. And 2019 was its best year yet as attendance and sale records were set across the board.
“We’re coming off a banner year and are planning on outdoing ourselves once again in 2020,” said Mark Ford, on behalf of the Goshen Yearling Sale. “We have plans to enhance our already user-friendly amenities both on-site and online to make it even easier for our clients to just concentrate on the yearlings they want and buy them. We can’t wait for September.”
One important deadline to keep in mind concerning this year’s event is Monday (June 1), as that is the final day for all consignments to be made for the sale.
The sales facility is located at 90 Slaughter Road, Middletown, N.Y., which is within a 90-minute drive of many major race tracks and training centers in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, making it a very convenient location. It’s also only eight miles away from the Harness Racing Museum and the Goshen Historic Track, making it easy to visit those historic places during your weekend.
