IF 2021 represented the comeback year for the Goffs Orby Sale then 2022 was the edition in which Ireland’s premier yearling sale solidified and advanced its position as one of the leading yearling sales in Europe.

The highest priced yearling to come under the hammer in the world so far this year, a significant increase in the level of activity from €100,000 onwards, and a notable input from American buyers all played their part in a strong renewal of this two-day auction. The final results all made for good reading and particularly impressive was how a significantly enlarged catalogue was still able to make gains in areas such as the average and the median.
