AN enormous total of 1,672 lots have been entered for Goffs’ November Sale at Kill in Co Kildare and, because this is 232 more than last year, they will be selling for seven days instead of six. There is no shortage of well-bred horses in the two catalogues that Goffs have produced, the first containing 1,203 foals, 213 more than in 2014, scheduled to be offered on the five days from Monday to Friday, November 16th to 20th, starting at 11am each day.
The breeding stock catalogue contains details of 469 broodmares and fillies entered on the Saturday and Sunday, November 21st and 22nd, with selling commencing at 10am on those two days.
The highlight of the first five days will undoubtedly be the foals by top sires such as Galileo, Dubawi, Cape Cross, Invincible Spirit and Sea The Stars, but there are several other well-known stallions who will have some of their first crop of foals in the sale ring at Kill. These include such exciting newcomers as Group 1 heroes Camelot, Dawn Approach, Farhh and Lethal Force.
The broodmares on Saturday and Sunday have some notable covering sires, which include Canford Cliffs, Cape Cross, Dark Angel, Lawman, Mastercraftsman, Pivotal, Pour Moi, Raven’s Pass, Teofilo and Zoffany.
