Goffs's week-long November Sale series kicks off on Sunday with the Foal Sale, which runs through Thursday. The catalogue is organised on a rising tide basis, and thus the sale will reach a pinnacle on Thursday when the best-bred offerings, including 19 foals that form part of the Wildenstein dispersal, take their turns through the ring. In addition to the Wildenstein dispersal, which includes a filly by Dansili (GB) out of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches victress Beauty Parlour (GB) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) (lot 1201)–whose Dubawi (Ire) yearling colt topped the Goffs Orby sale in September when sold to John Ferguson for €1.4-million, and who herself goes through the ring at the mare sale as lot 1431–other highlights of the foal catalogue include a full-sister to Group 3 winner Stellar Mass (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) (lot 1050); a Teofilo (Ire) filly out of multiple Grade II winner and Grade I-placed Katdogawn (GB) (Bahhare) (lot 1051); a full-sister to dual Group 2 winner Adaay (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) (lot 1056); an Oasis Dream (GB) half-sister to two stakes winners (lot 1086); a Sea The Stars son of G3 Prix d'Aumale winner Quad's Melody (Ire) (Spinning World) and half-brother to dual Group 2 winner Here Comes When (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) (lot 1102); a Zoffany (Ire) half-sister to G1 Prix de l'Abbaye winner Gilt Edge Girl (GB) (Monsieur Bond {Ire}) (lot 1139); a Kingman (GB) half-brother to multiple group winner Breton Rock (Ire) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}) (lot 1155); and a Galileo (Ire) colt out of triple Group 3 winner Bewitched (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) (lot 1163).
In the two-day mare catalogue Nov. 18 and 19, the Wildenstein dispersal is joined by quality drafts from some of Ireland's best breeders, including the Aga Khan, Godolphin, Derrinstown Stud, Ballylinch and Moyglare Stud.
Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby said, “The Goffs November Sale is simply unmissable for international buyers this year. The Wildenstein Stables Ltd Dispersal offers Thoroughbred breeders from every corner of the globe a unique chance to invest in some of the most prolific and successful families in modern day racing. We are honoured and proud to have been selected to conduct this incredible dispersal sale, which is a wonderful endorsement of the Goffs service in our 150th anniversary year.”
“In addition, we have several other outstanding drafts headed by 77 from Godolphin and the annual consignment from HH The Aga Khan Studs, which sold Hazariya, dam of dual Derby winner Harzand, here in 2014,” Beeby added. “We have catalogued a Foal catalogue of sustained strength and depth throughout for what has become a market leading foal sale and appeals to all price ranges and levels.”
