THE upcoming Goffs London Sale on June 13th will see an extra special item being added as John Osborne, chief executive of the Irish National Stud, recently outlined. A sculpture of Be My Guest will be auctioned in aid of the Naughton Family Trust of which John is trustee.

Be My Guest topped the first Goffs yearling sale in the current premises at Kill, Co Kildare in 1975. The Moyglare-bred son of Northern Dancer ran for Robert Sangster and Vincent O’Brien winning the Waterford Crystal Mile at Goodwood, the Blue Riband Trial and the Desmond Stakes. He retired to Coolmore and became a champion sire.
