Jay Goodwin Joins Walmac Farm’s Stallion Sales Department

Jay Goodwin, formerly of Eaton Sales and previously a partner in Select Sales Agency, has been hired by Gary Broad's Walmac Farm and will join the operation's stallion sales department, it was announced today.

“Moving into stallions wasn't something I was even thinking about, but when I spoke with Gary and heard his excitement and the plans that he has for the future of Walmac, it was something that I definitely wanted to be a part of,” said Goodwin. “Although I am thoroughly excited about this exciting new opportunity, I will miss my role with Eaton Sales. I am thankful to Reiley (McDonald) for everything he taught me while I worked with him.”

Goodwin, who moved to Lexington, Ky., in 2005, is no stranger to high-quality bloodstock. Having worked as an account manager for Eaton Sales since 2020 and as a longtime partner with Select Sales, Goodwin is also a breeder and owns Goodwin Farm in Bourbon County where he manages his own mares and those of clients.

Walmac is home to stallions Core Beliefs and Pinehurst. Core Beliefs, a son of Quality Road, won the Grade 3 Ohio Derby and the G2 New Orleans Handicap and banked nearly $1 million during his racing career. His first foals arrive this year and he stands the 2023 breeding season for $7,500 S&N.

Pinehurst, runaway winner of the 2021 G1 Del Mar Futurity at two and impressive winner of the G3 Saudi Derby at three, is a son of Twirling Candy, and he stands his initial season at stud this year for $7,500 S&N.

New Name For Goffs National Hunt Sale Honours Champion Chaser

Goffs' flagship National Hunt Sale, formerly known as the Goffs Land Rover Sale, will now be known as the Goffs Arkle Sale in honour of history's greatest chaser, Arkle, who was sold at Goffs.

Goffs Arkle Sale this year will be held in partnership with Land Rover Defender, and the vendor of the horse that wins the renamed €100,000 Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival will also win an all-new Defender Hard Top.

“So many household names in National Hunt racing have gone under the hammer at Goffs during the past century, with Arkle the most famous of all,” Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby said. “He was sold at Goffs as a 3-year-old to trainer Tom Dreaper on behalf of his owner Anne, Duchess Of Westminster, and following a remarkable career that included three Cheltenham Gold Cups, he remains the yardstick by which all champions are measured.”

The Goffs Arkle Sale will take place from Jun. 13 through 15. Nominations are currently open on the Goffs website.
