Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said: "It is a proud boast that the Doncaster Breeze-Up has been on an upward trajectory for some time now, and last year it really made a statement by achieving the highest level of trade in its history.
"Following that, and Bradsell claiming our ninth Royal Ascot win in the last eight years, we received over 1,000 nominations for places, the most we have ever received, and the resulting catalog features some outstanding horses.
"The attraction of a winner at Royal Ascot is a huge driver for many when it comes to racehorse ownership, and this sale's success there has grown its international following to a new level, so we will be working hard over the coming weeks to ensure we attract another large and diverse buying bench."
