"Indeed, the sale has bucked the trend this year by attracting a significantly larger number of entries than 12 months ago, particularly the foals which have grown from 678 in 2024 to 745. The catalogue boasts strength and depth throughout, and our proven format sees the foals placed alphabetically by dam across the three days.

"Goffs December is also now firmly established as the premier destination for elite National Hunt breeding stock and we have another mouth-watering selection to offer this year. 

"We look forward to welcoming everyone to Kildare Paddocks for a festive finale to another strong year of National Hunt at Goffs, and in the meantime, we have five weekends of quality jump racing to look forward to which is sure to produce some more exciting updates to the catalogue."
