[Wandering Eyes]

It is the end of an era for one of the most established owners on the international circuit as Alpha Centauri and Alpine Star will feature among 44 blue blooded mares to be offered at the Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale by the Niarchos family.

The draft features multiple Group 1 and Classic winners, including Tapestry, winner of the G1 Darley Oaks, who is foal to Dubawi. 

Three consignors will handle the draft with 18 from Norelands and 13 each offered by Baroda Stud and Kiltinan Castle. The 44 lots feature 10 Group winners all told.

Announcing the draft, Goffs Group Chief Executive, Henry Beeby said, “The Niarchos Family have proved to be one of the world's preeminent owner-breeders over the last fifty years and have developed a broodmare band that is the envy of the global bloodstock community. 

“It is extremely rare for a draft of this quality and depth to be offered at public auction and Goffs are delighted that we have been chosen to handle this superb sale.”

He added, “As was the case when Paul Makin and David Wildenstein appointed us, we will ensure a global audience at Kildare Paddocks for a draft that would have graced any breeding stock catalogue in the world and offers an unprecedented chance to buy into some of the best bloodlines in thoroughbred racing.”
