The Goffs Arkle Sale catalogue, which is now available online, drew 469 lots for Part 1, which will be held on June 13-14, and 238 lots for Part 2, set for June 15. Formerly the Land Rover Sale, the flagship National Hunt sale for Goffs has been renamed this year in honour of Goffs' most famous graduate, Arkle, and is held in partnership with Defender.

“Buyers can expect something very special at Goffs Arkle Sale next month,” Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said. “Our expansion of Part 1 to two days in 2021 took this sale to a whole new level as we can now accommodate the increasing demand from the leading NH vendors choosing to send their best to Goffs.”

All horses offered in Parts 1 and 2 are eligible for the €100,000 Goffs Defender Bumper at the 2024 Punchestown Festival, where the winning vendor will also win a Defender Hard Top.

The sale will get underway at 10 a.m. each day.

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.
