The Goffs Arkle Sale catalogue is now available online and features an exceptional selection of National Hunt stores with 469 Lots in Part 1 (13 – 14 June) and a further 238 Lots in Part 2 (15 June).

The experienced Goffs selection team led by Gerry Hogan, Neil Walsh, Peter Molony and Kevin Ross have worked with vendors to handpick outstanding individuals with the pedigrees to match resulting in a catalogue of end-to-end quality. The leading National Hunt sires feature prominently and include Authorized, Blue Bresil, Buck’s Boum, Coastal Path, Doctor Dino, Flemensfirth, Kapgarde, Kayf Tara, Masked Marvel, Muhtathir, No Risk At All, Saint Des Saints, Walk In The Park, Yeats and Zarak amongst others. A Cheltenham Festival Grade 1 double, courtesy of Stage Star and The Real Whacker, headlined another superb season for Arkle Sale graduates while Grade 1 success followed at the Punchestown Festival for Feronily. This Grade 1 theme is carried throughout the catalogue with siblings to a host of top tier winners on offer including Appreciate It, Ahoy Senor, Champ Kiely, Fury Road, Lalor, My Drogo, Put The Kettle On, Special Tiara, Tornado Flyer, Three Stripe Life and more.
Launching the Arkle Sale catalogue, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:
“Buyers can expect something very special at Goffs Arkle Sale next month. Our expansion of Part 1 to two days in 2021 took this sale to a whole new level as we can now accommodate the increasing demand from the leading NH vendors choosing to send their best to Goffs. We offered the majority share of the select store horse market in 2022 resulting in an unforgettable week at Kildare Paddocks and we are grateful to our vendors who have supported the Arkle Sale with even more quality this year resulting in a catalogue that makes us very proud.
To quote the great David Minton, “the standard of horses has improved beyond belief” – and we look forward to welcoming buyers and vendors to Goffs Arkle Sale in June”.
All horses offered in Parts 1 and 2 are eligible for the €100,000 Goffs Defender Bumper at the 2024 Punchestown Festival where the winning vendor will become the outright owner of a Defender Hard Top. The race was won this year by Gigginstown House Stud’s Predators Gold who was sold by Treannahow Stables to Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins at Goffs last year and whose half-brother is catalogued as Lot 63 in this year’s Arkle Sale.
The sale will commence at 10am each day.
