Goffs Punchestown Sale- A Focus on Quality

The Goffs Punchestown Sale, to be held after racing next Thursday 28 April, was the first sale of its kind to be held in a parade ring at a major racing festival.  With numbers strictly limited it always catalogues lots of a certain quality, and the headline horse among its graduates is undoubtedly Honeysuckle, the dual Champion Hurdler.
