PART 1 of the Goffs Arkle Sale concluded on Wednesday evening with all kinds of records having been broken.

Over the two days, a total of 384 horses sold for just over €25 million, resulting in an average price of €65,176. Compare that with last year's total spending of €19.5 million on 366 horses, when the average price was €53,499 - which was itself a sale record at the time.
