Thoroughbred sales
Thoroughbred horses are big business in Ireland, and a trip to a thoroughbred sale will give you a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of the top names in Irish racing: Goffs in County Kildare, Goresbridge in County Kilkenny, Tattersalls in County Meath, Sweet Wall and Laurel View in County Antrim, and Ballintaggart in County Armagh, names that are known worldwide in racing circles for their ability to consistently provide the industry with some of the finest horses ever to run. Silver Birch, War of Attrition, Kicking King and Best Mate, Bindaree, Florida Pearl, Brave Inca, winners of Grand Nationals and ‘Million’ races, are just some of the champions to pass through their gates. Whether you’re there to bid for a winner (not for the faint-hearted) or you’d just like the chance to appreciate these remarkable animals first hand, it’s hard to not get caught up in the excitement of the occasion.
