GOFFS again have a very strong catalogue for their 24th annual Land Rover Sale, which will be held in Kildare Paddocks at Kill on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the second week in June. It has been decided to make a slight increase in the size of the sale from last year.

Each of the stores that is sold will be qualified to enter for the valuable Goffs Land Rover Bumper, to be run at the Punchestown Festival in 2019, with a prize fund totalling €100,000. Hardy Eustace, Newmill and Glencove Marina have all won the Bumper in recent seasons. Among the many other top winners to change hands here have been Imperial Commander and Big Zeb, while among the winners at recent Cheltenham Festivals who were bought at this sale were the brilliant Altior and Faugheen, who cost just €12,000 and won the Champion Hurdles at both Cheltenham and Punchestown. Other recent Grade 1 stars include Samcro, The Storyteller and Tornado Flyer.
