Commenting on publication of the catalogue, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:
“Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale packs a serious punch when it comes to the level of success enjoyed by buyers with the progeny of their purchases. The Group 1 victories throughout 2020 have been quite remarkable from relatively smaller numbers compared with other breeding stock sales, and we believe this year’s offering is packed with more Group 1 potential.
While it is a one-day sale this year, and will be held on the later date of 21 December, the quality remains as high as ever and we look forward to welcoming vendors and purchasers back to Kildare Paddocks, both in person and via Goffs Online”.
