Set to go as the opening event of the Irish Champions Festival at Leopardstown on Saturday, Sept. 14, nominations for the Goffs Champions Sale are now open, the auction house announced via presser on Monday.
Offering a boutique selection of high-class Flat and NH prospects, the sale will take place in the winners' enclosure before racing is conducted. The Irish Champions Festival features prize money of €4.5-million with a programme headed by six Group 1 races, including the G1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champions Stakes on the Saturday card at Leopardstown, and the G1 Goffs Vincent O'Brien National Stakes and G1 Comer Group International Irish St Leger on Sunday, Sept. 15 at the Curragh.
“Goffs Champions Sale is small in numbers but high on results, as proven many times over the past decade,” said Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby. “Vendors at Goffs boutique auctions are regularly rewarded with maximum prices for quality horses, as our “right time, right place” format at major race meetings creates a vibrant ready-made marketplace–whether at London, Ascot, Leopardstown, Punchestown, Aintree or Newbury.”
Nominations are now being taken and anyone wishing to apply may enter online or by contacting Nick Nugent, Joey Cullen, Tadhg Dooley, or Kevin O'Ryan.
