€1 Million In Bonuses On Offer For Orby Grads, as Goffs Two Million Series Expands To UK

[Wandering Eyes]

Graduates of the Goffs Orby Sale are eligible to win €1 million in bonuses across the UK and Ireland during the 2025 Flat Season. The announcement marks an expansion of the Goffs Two Million Series to the UK.

Bonuses of €50,000 will be paid to the winning connections of 10 juvenile contests in Ireland and 10 in the UK as part of the Goffs Two Million Series. The list of nominated races is now available to view here on the Goffs website. The Goffs Two Million Series is open to 2-year-olds that were catalogued in the 2024 Orby Sale Books 1 and 2, and declared eligible by payment of the qualification fee.

The initial list of races runs from Mar. 16 until mid-June, and Orby graduates will have opportunities to win at 11 racecourses in Ireland and 22 in the UK, including on the opening day of the Flat this Sunday at the Curragh and in the Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster on Saturday, Mar. 29. The second draft of races will be confirmed as the season progresses.

All yearlings in the 2025 Orby Sale, which takes place on the revised sale dates of Sept. 29-30 for Orby Book 1 and Oct. 1-2 for Orby Book 2, will also be eligible for a guaranteed prize fund of €2 million in 2026.

Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “The Goffs €1,000,000 Bonus Series gives Orby buyers as many opportunities to win as possible and we look forward to seeing graduates compete for these hugely valuable prizes right from the start of the season.

“Building on its success in Ireland last season, we are delighted to extend the bonus series to the UK this year, an initiative that sparked a significant increase in buyers qualifying their purchases for the series at last year's Orby.

“Of course, Goffs Two Million Series also features Europe's Richest Two-Year-Old Race, the Goffs Million, which provides a wonderful focal point on the eve of the Orby Sale with prize money to 10th place. Momentum is expected to carry straight into this year's sale which kicks off a day earlier than originally scheduled, on Monday 29 September.

“Securing even more major international buyers is our mission for Orby 2025. We are increasing investment in our VIP program while the Buyer Attraction Team are travelling the world earlier than ever to lock in those game changing clients.  The €1 Million Bonus Series will support this goal by creating even more opportunities for the team to be on track connecting with buyers throughout the season.”

Nominations are now open for the 2025 Orby Sale.
