Pair of Yearlings Make 300,000 at Goffs Orby Opener

Two yearlings achievedܨ300,000 to share top honors during Tuesday's opening session of the Goffs Orby Sale. The first to hit that mark was lot 12, a Galileo (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) filly secured by Demi O'Byrne. Offered by Croom House Stud, the bay is out of Winning Sequence (Fr) (Zafonic), a 3/4-sister to Group 1 winner Coquerelle (Ire) (Zamindar). Later in the day, lot 179, a colt from the first crop of champion Teofilo (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), was acquired by Sir Robert Ogden. The dark bay is the second foal from Hundred Year Flood (Giant's Causeway), a half-sister to GSW & GISP Sweet Hope (Lemon Drop Kid), and hailed from the Hawthorn Villa Stud draft.
