Goffs Releases Breeding Stock Sale Catalogue

[Wandering Eyes]

The Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale has solidified its status as a Classic-producing sale, having handled the transactions of the dams of Romanised (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Harzand (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and Kew Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in its more recent history, and the catalogue for the latest edition of the sale at the Kills Paddocks on Nov. 21 and 22 is online.

Flourishing broodmare sire Galileo (Ire) has 19 fillies and mares catalogued, and those are joined by stock by the likes of Danehill Dancer (Ire) and his own sire, Danehill; Dansili (GB), Dark Angel (Ire), Dubawi (Ire), Green Desert, Invincible Spirit (Ire), Montjeu (Ire), Oasis Dream (GB), Pivotal (GB), Sadler’s Wells, Sea The Stars (Ire) and Shamardal. Buyers will also have the opportunity to secure mares carrying to the first crops of the likes of Saxon Warrior (Jpn), Sioux Nation, U S Navy Flag and Zoustar (Aus).

The expected highlights of the catalogue include the 7-year-old Height of Elegance (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (lot 861), a three-quarter-sister to champion 2-year-old filly Listen (Ire) and G1 Moyglare Stud S. winner Sequoyah (Ire), both daughters of Sadler’s Wells, in foal to second-season sire Caravaggio; Duffay (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Godolphin-consigned 6-year-old daughter of G1 Fillies’ Mile S. winner White Moonstone (Dynaformer) carrying her third foal, by Invincible Spirit (Ire) (lot 924); Steel Princess (Ire) (Danehill) (lot 971), the dam of Grade I winner Sarah Lynx (Ire), Group 3 winner Sugar Boy (Ire) and listed winner Steel Prince (Ire) in foal to No Nay Never (Ire); Snowflakes (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (lot 997), a winning full-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Winter (Ire) in foal to U S Navy Flag; Could It Be Love (Ire)s21 (War Front) (lot 1000), a winning and Classic-placed half-sister to Uncle Mo in foal to Australia (GB); and dual Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Actress (Ire) (Declaration of War) (lot 1001) in foal to No Nay Never.

“More Group 1 success in 2019 was the pinnacle of another year where we saw progeny of November mares win consistently around the world,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “Goffs November Breeding Stock is a sale with huge international appeal and we believe this year’s catalogue is packed with potential. We have reduced the numbers slightly this year, with quality over quantity very much in mind, to produce a catalogue of real strength and depth. It will take place immediately after our market-leading November Foal Sale Part 1 and will be followed by Part 2 of the foals, resulting in a five-day November Sale that serious buyers simply cannot afford to miss.”
