“The figures tell all you need to know about the trade. It was very good and hard to get the good foals as you were competing with end users. There was a very good batch of foals here, maybe more so than usual. Possibly some of the very good Irish bred foals stayed at home as a result of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit” – Eddie O’Leary, Lynn Lodge Stud.

“It was a very, very strong sale and not only for the best foals but across the board. There was a great hunger for horses that I haven’t seen at a foal sale for a number of years. It was encouraging to see trade this way and it was a great week. Full credit to Goffs for putting together a great catalogue that was reflected in the trade this week” – Bill Dawn, Castlebridge Consignment.
