breeze up

A breeze-up horse sale is a type of auction where young thoroughbred horses are sold after undergoing a brief period of training known as "breeze-up" or "gallop out" period. During this period, the horses are exercised and trained to gallop at high speeds for a short distance, usually on a racecourse.

The horses are then put up for sale at auction, where potential buyers can assess their performance during the breeze-up period and make bids accordingly. The auction typically lasts for several days, and horses are sold to the highest bidder.

Breeze-up sales are popular in the horse racing industry, as they allow buyers to acquire young horses with some training and experience at a relatively early stage in their development. The sales can be competitive, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to millions of pounds depending on the horse's pedigree, performance, and potential.

Goffs is a leading auction house that specializes in thoroughbred racehorse sales. Goffs hosts several breeze-up sales each year this first of which is April 24-25th at Doncaster.
