A full-brother to German Group 1 winner Ghaiyyath (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and a half to Grade I scorer Zhukova (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) (lot 745) consigned by The Castlebridge Consignment is one of the highlights of the Goffs November Foal Sale Part 1 catalogue, which was released on Wednesday.

“Goffs November is simply unmissable for anyone interested in buying a foal, whether they aim to resell or race,” said Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby. “While Goffs regularly sells the top-priced foals in Europe, we pride ourselves on providing quality for all buyers whatever their budget. This catalogue features many of the best foals to be offered anywhere this year thanks to the incredible support from Irish breeders, as well as a number of select foals from UK vendors, resulting in a catalogue of great strength and depth.”
In 2018, from a catalogue of 775 with 665 offered, 480 weanlings found new homes and grossed €20,311,000. The average was €42,315 and the median was €28,000. Top price was €350,000 for a daughter of Kingman (GB) to Outsider BL.
