A total of 90 lots will be offered at the Goffs British NH Breeders Showcase which takes place at Doncaster on Friday, November 1. The full catalogue can be viewed here, comprising seventy-seven foals, seven yearlings and six breeding stock.
As part of the Breeders Showcase, the sale will once again be preceded by a Foal Show which will honour two much missed figures of the British breeding world. The colts' class commemorates Richard Aston from Goldford Stud and the fillies' class Robert Chugg of Little Lodge Farm.
Goffs are offering a total prize pool of £10,000 to be shared among the top three colts and fillies. The show, which will be held in association with LH Woodhouse, will take place the day before the sale on Thursday, October 31.
Potential highlights of the sale include lot 7, a colt foal by Walk In The Park (Ire) out of a winning half-sister to the multiple Grade 1 winner Facile Vega (Ire) (Walk In The Park {Ire}), with the champion racemare Quevega (Fr) (Robin Des Champs {Fr}) as his second dam; lot 9, a filly foal by Golden Horn (GB) out of the dual Cheltenham Festival heroine Put The Kettle On (Ire) (Stowaway {GB}); lot 80, a Walk In The Park (Ire) yearling filly out of the Grade 1-winning hurdler Bitofapuzzle (GB) (Tamure {Ire}); and lot 85, the winning Astarabad mare Femme En Or (Fr), a full-sister to the multiple Grade 1 scorer Whisper (Fr) and already dam of the three-year-old Femme Bleue (Fr) (Gemix {Fr}), who impressed when making a successful debut at Auteuil earlier this month.
Goffs UK managing director Tim Kent said, “The 2024 catalogue is very strong and we are delighted with the quality; in fact it's outstanding. Last year this sale celebrated its debut with a fantastic set of results and those have not been lost on vendors as they have targeted this with their best stock.
“The Goffs inspection teams have also been more selective this year with the goal of producing a more focused catalogue of top quality, early season foals, and the result is a line-up that reads extremely well.
“Given the quality of the sire profile and the pedigrees on offer, we are confident that this will be a 'not to be missed' sale for pinhookers and for those looking to secure early racing or breeding prospects.”
