AS the penultimate session of the Goffs November Foal Sale came to a close there was a notable piece of Goffs history in the making when a daughter of Galileo from The Castlebridge Consignment made her way into the ring.

She will have the distinction of being the final foal by Galileo to be offered at Kildare Paddocks and her exit from the ring represented the end of an extraordinary era which began when Galileo’s first foals were offered all the way back in 2003. This particular filly cost the BBA Ireland €290,000 and she is a half-sister to the multiple listed-placed sprinter Gold Filigree.
