Goffs and Land Rover Ireland are delighted to announce that the new vendor prize for this year’s Land Rover Sale will be the stunning new Discovery Sport, the latest addition to the Land Rover range of class-defining, authentic 4x4 vehicles.

The vendor of the horse that wins the €100,000 Goffs Land Rover Bumper at the Punchestown Festival will become the outright owner of the Discovery Sport, the first member of the new Discovery family. The dates for the 2015 Festival have been announced as Tuesday 28th April to Saturday 2nd May 2015.

The Punchestown Irish National Hunt Festival is the highlight of the Irish sporting and social calendar. The special combination of thrilling sporting action, brilliant live entertainment, delicious food and drink, family fun, dazzling glamour or casual comfort and the unique Punchestown Festival atmosphere is beyond compare..  

Discovery Sport features 5+2 seating in a footprint no larger than existing 5-seat premium SUVs.  With Land Rover’s DNA at its heart, new Discovery Sport delivers versatility and capability in equal measure, tackling the most challenging terrain in comfort.

Unveiling the Discovery Sport at the Goffs Thyestes Chase, Eddie Kavanagh General Manager of Land Rover Ireland said: ”We are delighted to continue our very successful partnership with Goffs and to formally introduce the new Discovery Sport here today.  As you would expect from a Land Rover, it offers supreme versatility with a very generous and adaptable loadspace.  We look forward to presenting this ground-breaking new model to the winning vendor of the Goffs Land Rover Bumper at Punchestown.”

Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby added:“The Land Rover name is synonymous with National Hunt at Goffs and the exclusive vehicle prize has proven to be a great incentive for vendors since the first Land Rover Sale in 1996.

Goffs Land Rover Sale has made major advances in quality, turnover and market share in recent years.  Sellers are reaping the rewards in the sales ring, and the unique incentive of the Discovery Sport is another wonderful reason for store horse vendors to send their best to Goffs”.
