Commenting on this year’s Orby catalogue, Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby said: “This is a milestone year for Goffs as we celebrate 150 years since Robert J Goff was appointed as official auctioneer to the Irish Turf Club, and I am delighted to report that the quality of yearlings buyers can expect from the 2016 Orby Sale more than befits such a significant anniversary.  

"The level of demand for Orby places surpassed any previous year which is testament to the strength of the sale in recent times.  Goffs selection team spent the summer visiting leading breeders and walking the stud farms of Ireland, as well as the UK and US, to hand pick some of the best bred and best looking yearlings anywhere this year.  Buyers can be assured of more world class yearlings from a sale that has produced a steady supply of Classic winners since its first Derby winner in 1870.
 
"In addition we are proud to catalogue yearlings from The Wildenstein Stables Ltd Dispersal in the Orby, which has been another wonderful endorsement of the quality of this sale and of the Goffs service”.
 
The horses in training section of The Wildenstein Stables Ltd Dispersal will be offered immediately after Lot 472 on the second day of the Orby, Wednesday 28 September.

The Orby Sale will be followed by the Sportsman’s Sale Part 1 on 29th September and Sportsman’s Part 2 on the 30th.  The catalogue for the Sportsman’s Sale will be online from Friday 12 August.
