Store Sales Dates Coordinated Between Goffs and Tattersalls

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, Goffs and Tattersalls have revised the store sales dates to allow sufficient time for vendors to quarantine between the Goffs UK Summer Sale and the Irish Store sales at Goffs and Tattersalls Ireland in compliance with Irish Government quarantine requirements. A two week gap between sales in the UK and Ireland has been agreed to give adequate time for Irish vendors to return from England and quarantine before they head to Kildare for the Goffs Land Rover Sale and then to the Tattersalls Ireland Derby and May Sales at Fairyhouse. The new dates are as follows:

Goffs UK Summer Sale in Doncaster–July 27 to 29th
Goffs Land Rover Sale in Kildare–Aug. 12 to 13th
Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale in Fairyhouse -Aug. 18 to 19th
Tattersalls Ireland May Sale in Fairyhouse-Aug. 20th
Tattersalls Ireland August NH Sale in Fairyhouse-Aug. 27 to 28th

“The bloodstock community, like the rest of the world, is having to adapt and react quickly to an ever evolving situation caused by this awful pandemic,” Tattersalls Chariman Edmond Mahony and Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said in a joint statement. “However, we have come together to make these changes to assist the vendors who have entries in more than one Goffs and Tattersalls catalogue, and need to attend several locations. Both companies are mindful of current government directives and have developed detailed protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees at each sales venue.”

A small number of entries from the Derby and Land Rover Sales will be allowed at the Goffs UK Summer Sale in a joint supplementary catalogue, although confined to UK domiciled stores from either catalogue.

Laytown Cancels 2020 Card

The Laytown Races Committee has cancelled the Sept. 1 Laytown race meeting at Laytown strand, Horse Racing Ireland announced on Tuesday. The decision was made due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and for public health and safety reasons. All customers that have already purchased tickets and other hospitality options will receive a full refund.

“Laytown Races is in a unique position as we race under temporary facilities and our racetrack on the beach is a fantastic amenity, open to the public,” said Laytown Races Chairman Joe Collins. “As the health and safety of Laytown and Bettystown residents, sponsors, racegoers, jockeys, trainers, stable staff and racecourse staff is our number one priority, the committee had too many concerns about how we could implement social distancing during racing, especially on the beach and in the village.

“After consultation with all the key stakeholders including the Gardai, Horse Racing Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Body, the committee reached the very difficult decision to cancel our 2020 race meeting, but we are already looking forward to welcoming everyone back to our 2021 race fixture.”
