Goffs hold final bloodstock sale at the RDS before moving to new paddocks in Kildare.
Goffs have had an association with the RDS (Royal Dublin Society) for over a century. In 1867 company founder Robert J Goff held his first sale here in Ballsbridge.
The Goffs May auction takes place at a temporary ring at the RDS, as the old sales ring is already under reconstruction.
Larkspur, L’Escargot and Arkle are just some of the famous thoroughbreds which have been paraded here.
