Their can-do attitude and extra mile approach to ensuring that our UK visitors were looked after from the moment they arrived ensured lots of happy faces and allowed them to focus on the business of the day. And, as ever, our colleagues at Irish Thoroughbred Marketing have been pivotal to the whole sale as they worked with the Goffs Team to ensure the maximum audience for all three days. I repeat our thanks to everyone at HRI for their help in working through the protocols to deliver a safe, compliant and vibrant sale. Most noteworthy was the clearance rate which grew by 16 points to a very respectable 74% and, once again, we extend our thanks to our vendors who provided the raw material as well as every purchaser who engaged as they sought to find the next Land Rover star.Īs I commented yesterday the last three days have made some big points, the most important of which is surely that thoroughbred sales in Ireland are not just possible but are in rude health. Reflecting on the 2021 Land Rover Sale, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:įollowing a spectacular two-day Land Rover Part 1, today’s Part 2 sale took up the mantle and certainly delivered more of the same with advances in all the vital statistics. Hot on the heels of selling this year’s Land Rover Sale topper in the €230,000 Shantou own brother to Airlie Beach on Tuesday, Peter Nolan Bloodstock also led the way in Part 2 with a Blue Bresil filly ( Lot 458 - pictured) purchased by Aidan O’Ryan and Gordon Elliott for €65,000.Īnother outstanding filly today was a daughter of Well Chosen from Butlersgrove Stud ( Lot 488) who sold to Bobby O’Ryan for €52,000, while another stand out was Rathmore Stud’s Shirocco gelding ( Lot 521), a half brother to multiple Grade 2 winner Rashaan, which was knocked down to Harold Kirk and Willie Mullins for €46,000. A wonderful three days at Goffs Land Rover Sale concluded with strong trade throughout Part 2 of the sale today, recording further increases in average, median, turnover and clearance rate.
