The average was €33,152 and the median was €14,000. Taking top honours was Snowflakes (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in foal to U S Navy Flag at €525,000. “Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale packs a serious punch when it comes to the level of success enjoyed by buyers with the progeny of their purchases,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “The Group 1 victories throughout 2020 have been quite remarkable from relatively smaller numbers compared with other breeding stock sales, and we believe this year’s offering is packed with more Group 1 potential. “While it is a one-day sale this year, and will be held on the later date of 21 Dec., the quality remains as high as ever and we look forward to welcoming vendors and purchasers back to Kildare Paddocks, both in person and via Goffs Online.” More to follow… The post Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale Catalogue Out appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
