Catalogue Now Live for the Goffs Classic Breeze-Up Sale

A select offering of 74 two-year-olds will be offered at the second edition of the Goffs Classic Breeze-Up Sale, which takes place on Saturday, June 27 during Ireland's premier Classic weekend, the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival. The catalogue is now available online.

All lots will breeze at Naas Racecourse five days ahead of the sale on Monday, June 22, giving buyers additional time to review and inspect the horses. The sale will begin at 6.15pm on Saturday at Goffs, following afternoon racing at the Curragh where the feature race is the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes.

The catalogue features the progeny of leading stallions such as Camelot, Havana Grey, Kingman, Lope De Vega, Mehmas, No Nay Never, Sea The Stars and Wootton Bassett, while some of the standout pedigrees include:

• Lot 1 – Palace Pier half-brother to Group 1 winner Consent

Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said, “Last year's inaugural Classic Breeze-Up Sale exceeded all expectations and we are delighted to build on that strong start with a catalogue of real depth and quality.

“Our aim from the outset was to create a premium boutique sale that complements Irish Derby weekend and, despite increased demand for places, we have produced a concise, select catalogue of later-maturing two-year-olds that will hold huge appeal for buyers.

“We are grateful for the continued support of our vendors whose confidence in the sale is reflected in the calibre of horses catalogued, as well as to Aidan McGarry and the team at Naas Racecourse for hosting the breeze on a track widely regarded as one of the best surfaces in the country for young horses.”
