France Galop has teamed up with Goffs as an official partner of the London Sale on June 16.
Under the terms of the partnership, Goffs will become the new sponsor of the G2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly on Sunday, July 20.
French interest at the Goffs London Sale on the eve of Royal Ascot included Al Shaqab buying into Sparkling Plenty at £5 million just over 24 hours after her victory in the G1 Prix de Diane.
“This new relationship further strengthens our growing ties with the French market, supported by increased engagement from both buyers and vendors at the Goffs London, Premier, Orby and November Sales in recent years,” said Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby.
Elie Hennau, chief executive director of France Galop, added, “This event is one of the most important in the European calendar, bringing together owners and trainers from around the world in search of horses destined for careers at the highest level, both on the racecourse and at stud. This partnership fully aligns with our desire to enhance the visibility of the France Galop programme and its major races among international stakeholders.”
