A day which featured strong demand for quality stock as evidenced by a top price of €90,000, which was paid for a son of Walk In The Park, ensured that the Goffs December National Hunt Sale got off to an encouraging start on Wednesday.

Last month the National Hunt market witnessed notably strong demand for some of the best foals on the open market and that trend continued into Wednesday’s sale where five foals fetched at least €50,000 and the top lot has the distinction of being the highest priced National Hunt foal ever sold at Goffs.
