The leading UK and Irish National Hunt buyers will be at the Punchestown Festival. Nominations are being taken for the Punchestown Festival Sale that will take place at Punchestown immediately after racing on Thursday 5th May.
A partnership between Goffs and Punchestown Racecourse, this select National Hunt sale will include a limited number of high class Point to Pointers and Horses In Training, with wild card entries open until the eve of the sale.
An exciting addition to the Festival programme, this sale offers Irish vendors the unique opportunity to reach all the major UK buyers who are in Ireland for Punchestown. The sale is being held in partnership with Punchestown Racecourse and will also be promoted by Irish Thoroughbred Marketing.
This is what the buyers had to say:
"The Punchestown Festival is something we look forward to every year. Now with the addition of the sale it adds an extra dimension and perhaps we could buy a horse to return with the following year. I think it’s a great innovation"
Paul Nicholls
"We have always enjoyed the Punchestown Festival with the fantastic Irish Hospitality, and the new sale is a great idea. We hope that we can manage to buy future festival winners there"
Philip Hobbs
"Punchestown is the ideal venue as everyone is there - all that is required are the horses"
Aiden Murphy
"Coming to Punchestown is one of the highlights of the season for us and the sale is a great new addition – I look forward to attending"
