Goffs Launches Instant Online Platform

Goffs Instant Online was launched by the sales company on Friday. Designed to allow sellers an immediate opportunity to sell through a secure and proven online platform at the shortest notice utilising the experience and reputation of Goffs, the revamped platform is billed as “ready when you are”. A 5% buying agent's commission will be paid to the successful purchaser provided they are a registered bloodstock agent and/or licenced trainer.

Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said, “We are delighted to launch Goffs Instant Online which is a concept we have been working on for some time as online sales continue to grow in the thoroughbred market. Goffs Instant Online is an enhanced online platform that is available 365 days a year to offer quality thoroughbreds at any time to suit sellers.

“Goffs Instant Online is unique as it's a custom-built system which has proven its ability to hold auctions of any nature, at any venue, at any time, and is truly 'ready when you are' which is the key thinking behind Goffs Instant Online. We have sold over €12 million worth of horses online since July 2020 and we feel it has a major part to play in the future.

“Goffs Instant Online will cater for quality thoroughbreds, from foals and yearlings, to horses-in-training, mares, stallion nominations, shares in any thoroughbred and we encourage any potential vendors to contact us should they wish to enquire about using this bespoke service. We are ready when you are and can enact a sale at the click of a mouse whilst the addition of the buying agent's commission is another attractive addition to the service.

“So if you have a winner or a close relation of a winner and want to cash in immediately, Goffs Instant Online will accommodate a sale within hours, be it a single horse or a draft of several, and provide the full Goffs service including the global reach of our international database and network of agents, the trusted Goffs Conditions of Sale including guaranteed pay-out and our much complemented user friendly platform.”

New Dubai World Cup Breeze-Up Sale to Be Conducted By Goffs

The new Dubai World Cup Breeze-Up Sale in association with Goffs will be conducted by the Irish sales company on Mar. 24, 2022, the Dubai Racing Club (DRC) announced on Sunday.

Held during Dubai World Cup week, the sale will have a maximum size of 69 2-year-olds that will be sourced from vendors by Goffs which will appeal to both local and international buyers. All lots will undergo a full veterinary examination prior to departure to ensure full transparency and buyer confidence.

Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Racing Club said, “The UAE, Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum have long been great supporters of the sport. Therefore, we are excited to host the Middle East's first breeze-up sale, and also the first ever online sale to be conducted in the Gulf and Middle East region to enhance our owners' exposure to high quality horses. We are partnering with a world-renowned auction house and together we are taking steps towards creating a bright future for the sport in the UAE.

“As far as the potential horses are concerned, they look like a very exciting bunch of young horses who will hopefully bring plenty of success for their new owners. In addition, Dubai World Cup week is a meeting point for leading owners and bloodstock professionals from Europe, the USA, Australasia and Asia and as such we are hoping for strong trade at the inaugural Dubai World Cup Breeze-up Sale.”

Added Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby, “We are extremely grateful to the Dubai Racing Club for the confidence they have shown in the Goffs service by entrusting this prestigious sale to us. We look forward to working with Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook, the Chairman of Dubai Racing Club and his team to deliver a world class event a day before the eve of the world's most prestigious race. We have a long and successful track record in the breeze-up sphere having held Europe's first breeze-up sale at Doncaster back in 1977 which also proved the source of the first European Classic winner from a breeze-up in Speciosa (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) who won the English 1000 Guineas. It will be a privilege to conduct a sale of this stature in Dubai at the invitation of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed.”

All of the juveniles will undergo quarantine in Dubai prior to the sale and gallop on the dirt track at Meydan on Mar. 23, 2022. There will be no official times for 2-year-olds, but instead they will be galloped on the bridle. Nominations for the sale will be open in due course, with stable visits taking place following the yearling sales season. The visits will be led by Nick Nugent and Tom Taaffe, the latter of whom brokered the deal on behalf of Goffs.
