Consignors talk about Goshen Yearling Sale

Middletown, NY — The 2022 Goshen Yearling Sale will be held at noon on Monday (Sept. 12) and the 94 harness racing yearlings offered this year are currently being examined by many interested parties in person, on video and through the catalog. However, no one has observed these horses closer than the respective managers of each farm. Here are some opinions they have offered about who stands out to them from their consignments.

Steve Jones – Cameo Hills Farms

The 2022 Cameo Hills Farm Goshen sale consignment features another very solid group from proven families.

If you’ve always wanted a Conway Hall, this sale season will be your last opportunity to get one and we are offering four in this sale.
