Miss Kingston Heads GoffsGo January Sale At £22,000

[Wandering Eyes]

The first of 17 catalogued GoffsGo sales was topped on Thursday by hurdler Miss Kingston at £22,000.

The mare was offered by Vinesgrove Stud and has shown plenty of promise for her trainer Paul McEnery in her three hurdle starts to date which included a third placing at Thurles in November last year. The daughter of Kingston Hill was purchased by Jerry McGrath.

Billy McEnery of Vinesgrove Stud commented, “It's our first venture into selling online and we were pleasantly surprised with the interest in the mare. I think it's the way forward for selling form horses, it's a good platform to trade horses on and we were delighted with how it went.” 

Overall, the sale saw 12 of the 37 catalogued lots sell for a turnover of £84,200 with other successful vendors including Ballyshannon Stud, Henry Daly, Jack Davison, Kildaragh Stud, Mick Appleby, Shade Oak Stud, Stuart Coltherd and more.

Goffs Group Chief Executive, Henry Beeby commented, “We are committed to seeing GoffsGo continue to grow in the online marketplace and the January Sale has kicked off what will be a busy year for the platform with another 16 sales currently in the calendar. As the 'new kid on the block' the only way is up, and we are delighted with the positive reception from potential vendors who have committed to future sales given our customer friendly pricing structure.

“Indeed, GoffsGo offers outstanding value with an entry fee of just £49 and the lowest available vendor commission of 1.5% which is only charged for lots that sell on the platform. That is unmatched by any other European online service. Our next online sale is the GoffsGo February Sale which will be held in three weeks' time on the 19th and entries are being taken now.”
