A total of 469 broodmares and broodmare prospects have been catalogued for the Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale, which is to take place Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18 and 19, following the auction house's November Foal Sale.
One of the highlights of the catalogue is expected to be the 3-year-old filly Ladies Cruise (GB) (Churchill {Ire}), a listed winner at two whose credentials were further enhance when taking out the July 16 G2 Sapphire S. at the Curragh for trainer John Murtagh. She is offered as lot 1222 through Fox Covert Stables.
Bisous Y Besos (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}) is catalogued as lot 1187, and the Kilpatrick Farm consignee could have her fair share of admirers. The 8-year-old mare is already the dam of Oscula (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), a Group 3 winner and placed in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac as a juvenile and victorious in this year's G3 Prix Six Perfections for trainer George Boughey. She is offered carrying a full-sibling to Oscula.
Other highlights include the Niarchos family's Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Bocca Baciata (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}) in foal to Mehmas (Ire) (Lot 1183); Aspiring (Ire), who is a Galileo (Ire) sister to European champion filly Danedream (Ger) in foal to Wootton Bassett (GB) (Lot 1188); Inch Perfect (Theatrical {Ire}), who is the dam of listed winner and Group 3-placed Measure Of Time (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) in foal to Sioux Nation (Lot 1189); the dam of Group 2 winner California Angel, Sea Mona (Tiz Wonderful) (Lot 1218), in foal to Night Of Thunder (Ire); and the dam of sire Rumble Inthejungle (Ire), Guana (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) (Lot 1256) who is in foal to Saxon Warrior (Jpn).
Commenting on publication of the catalogue, 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 (Ire), Little Big Bear (Ire) and Alcohol Free (Ire) 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 recognised as the source of the most sought-after bloodlines in the world and this year's catalogue 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 filles 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.”
