Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale holds global appeal for its Group 1 potential and value which was evident again so often throughout 2022. Group 1 Juddmonte Middle Park Stakes and Group 1 Darley Prix Morny winner Blackbeard, whose full sister was the highest-priced yearling filly in the world this year when topping the Orby Sale at €2.6 million, is out of Muirin who was purchased at the November Breeding Stock Sale for €210,000 in 2018. Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes winner Little Big Bear is also out a November Sale mare in Adventure Seeker who was bought for €125,000 at Goffs November, while the dam of multiple Group 1 winner Alcohol Free was originally bought at Goffs for just €21,000 before going on to top last year's sale at €825,000. Progeny of Goffs November Breeding Stock have also won at the top level in the US, Australia and New Zealand over the past year.
Commenting on publication of the catalog, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:
"Producing winners at the highest level is the ultimate aim of any breeder and the results from mares purchased at Goffs November always makes this sale unmissable for anyone seeking their next Group 1 success. Last year we saw the progeny of Goffs November Breeding Stock include the winners of the English 1000 and 2000 Guineas, while Blackbeard, Little Big Bear and Alcohol Free flew the Group 1 flag for the sale this season and in doing so graphically illustrated both the quality and superb value of their dams.
As an industry we are proud that Ireland is globally recognized as the source of the most sought-after bloodlines in the world and this year's catalog is another that boasts depth and quality throughout. We are grateful to the many leading owners and breeders who have supported the sale with top-class fillies and broodmares, and the team at Goffs, together with our friends at Irish Thoroughbred Marketing, looks forward to welcoming buyers from around the globe to Kildare Paddocks next month".
Selling will commence at 10 am on each day of the November Sale.
