…THEY ARE ALL HERE
…and in doing so, Goffs consistently exceeds vendor expectations.
For many reasons, the obvious choice for Irish foals is to sell in Ireland at Goffs. Irish pinhookers continue to dominate the foal trade while increasing numbers of international end users are drawn each year to Goffs November. And so, we repeat our mantra of stay near, go far. Your foals can avoid the stresses of travelling overseas while Goffs brings the world to you and consistently delivers maximum prices in the ring.
A spectacularly strong sale in 2022 illustrated this demand with significant rises in turnover, average and median as well as a clearance rate of 80%. Irish pinhookers topped the sale by volume of purchases once again, while the
top three foals were purchased by Stauffenberg Bloodstock, Juddmonte and Northern Farm. Philipp Stauffenberg has so often reaped substantial rewards from high profile Goffs November pinhooks, whilst renowned owner breeders Juddmonte Farms and Katsumi Yoshida of Northern Farm clearly showcased Goffs November’s international appeal.
A sale of real strength and depth, Goffs November also delivers its fair share of seven figure sale toppers for Irish vendors with foals selling for €1.8 million, €1.2 million, €1.1 million, €1.1 million etc over the past decade – proving another Goffs adage: Everytime you send your best, we deliver.
catered to you.

Our rallying call is simple: Goffs provides a world class showcase for the best foals and breeding stock Ireland has to offer, so it’s up to you as we are nothing without your horses.

New For 2023
Ireland’s reputation as world leaders in producing thoroughbreds is undisputed. Of course, the Irish are also world leaders in hospitality and the recently opened boutique hotel The Club At Goffs is a wonderful addition to the buyer experience at Kildare Paddocks.
The hotel is a two-minute walk from the sales grounds and boasts a beautiful restaurant run by Michelin-starred chef Derry Clarke. Goffs has reserved the 50-room hotel exclusively for international buyers attending Goffs November Sale, Ireland’s showcase.
