WHAT THEY SAID

“Considering some of the apprehension heading into this sale, it has held up very well as evidenced by the impressive increases. There’s a very good and broad cross section of buyers which is refreshing to see and it was great to see a European sale with such a wide variety of buyers. The involvement of the Maktoum family and other international players has been great for the sale”– Tom Goff, Blandford Bloodstock

“You’d have to be happy with how the sale has gone. There has been a great atmosphere here all week and well done to Goffs and everyone involved. There has been a varied and busy international group of buyers here and, while the market is still selective, you will get well paid for a good horse and you cannot ask for any more.” Bill Dwan, Castlebridge Consignment.

“Goffs have done a fantastic job and it has to be said that it made a refreshing change to come to a premier yearling sale with a condensed catalogue. Goffs have done a great job getting the people here from all over the world. They’ve been rewarded with good trade and it was well deserved as they put together a strong and condensed sale that worked very well” – Ross Doyle, bloodstock agent.

“It’s a strong market. Everyone who needs to be here to generate strong trade for quality stock is here and it’s very strong for quality individuals. Goffs have done a very good job in creating the atmosphere for the last two days and the people are here to give a good price for a good yearling which we’ve seen throughout the last two days” – John O’Connor, Ballylinch Stud.
