Go For Gold catalogue packed with quality

Goresbridge proprietor Martin Donohoe believes the catalogue for next week’s Go For Gold auction of select eventing horses compares favourably to previous years, writes John Tynan

This is the seventh year of the sale, with Rio Olympian Euro Prince among 70 horses showing off their abilities for three days from Monday at Barnadown in Co Wexford, followed by an auction on Wednesday evening at the nearby Amber Springs Hotel.

“I’d say it has been steadily growing in quality,” said Donohoe. “The horses seem to be getting better every year and that’s not just my opinion, the consensus from potential purchasers is that it is outstanding, featuring Olympic horses and two horses that represented Ireland at the World Breeding Championships. We also will be offering a top-class selection of three-year-olds.”
