This year's larger catalogue is a result of the strong, consistent trade invariably enjoyed at the sale and the confidence breeders exhibit in the Goffs service with each entry.

The team at Goffs, together with our partners at Irish Thoroughbred Marketing, looks forward to welcoming buyers from around the globe to Kildare Paddocks next month and assure them of the warmest welcome.”
