26 horses have been catalogued for the Goffs Punchestown Sale which takes place in the winners’ enclosure after racing on Thursday.
The catalogue is now available online.
The sale features another quality selection of four and five-year-old horses who have caught the eye in recent Point-to-Points or Bumpers, and will be headed by Aurora Vega who won the Grade 1 Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival – a race named in honour of the Punchestown Sale’s most famous graduate.
A limited number of Wild Cards may be entered after racing on Day 1 of the Festival, details of which will be available from the Goffs website. Sales horses will be available for viewing at Goffs from 9am until 1pm on Thursday and from 2pm at Punchestown.
