A world class selection of the Irish foal crop’s finest has been catalogued for the 2019 Goffs November Foal Sale. 770 Lots will be offered in Part 1 of the Foal Sale which takes place from Monday 18 to Wednesday 20 November. This will be followed by a day and a half of breeding stock, with the five day November Sale concluding with 204 Part 2 foals on Friday 22 November.
The catalogue boasts an impressive sire profile headed by Dark Angel, Dubawi, Invincible Spirit, Kingman, Lope De Vega, Sea The Stars and Siyouni amongst many others, with highly anticipated first foals from the crops of Almanzour, Caravaggio, Churchill, Decorated Knight, Galileo Gold, Highland Reel, Mondialiste, National Defense, Postponed, Profitable, Ribchester, Time Test, and Ulysses. Siblings to black type winners feature prominently throughout and are headed by the own brother to the November Sale topping Group 1 winner Ghaiyyath.
A sale with something for everyone, Goffs November Sale proved to be fertile ground for pinhookers once again this year, with the 2019 yearling sales season seeing a number of impressive touches. At the Orby Sale examples included a €56,000 foal that developed into a €525,000 yearling, €58,000 that evolved into €400,000, and €65,000 to €300,000 to name just a few.
Goffs November Foals also deliver in style on the racecourse, with world class winners in every crop. Throughout the 2019 and 2018 seasons there has been a host of Group and Grade 1 winners around the world, headed by catalogue cover star Ghaiyyath who became the world’s second highest rated horse following a 14 length victory in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Baden. A record breaker at this sale in 2015, Ghaiyyath is a perfect example of the quality on offer for end-users at Goffs in November. Other recent Grade 1 graduates of the November Foal Sale include last year’s Irish Derby winner Latrobe who was back to Group winning ways this season, as well as Grade 1 Natalma Stakes winner La Pelosa and Glorious Empire who won the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Stakes at Saratoga.
Commenting on the launch of the catalogue, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:
“Goffs November is simply unmissable for anyone interested in buying a foal, whether they aim to resell or race. While Goffs regularly sells the top priced foals in Europe, we pride ourselves on providing quality for all buyers whatever their budget.
"This catalogue features many of the best foals to be offered anywhere this year thanks to the incredible support from Irish breeders, as well as a number of select foals from UK vendors, resulting in a catalogue of great strength and depth”.
