Goffs UK To Offer Showcasing Right

The inaugural Goffs UK Goodwood Sale to be held after racing at the Qatar Goodwood Festival Aug. 1 will feature a lifetime breeding right to Whitsbury Manor Stud's flagship stallion Showcasing (GB). The 11-year-old has sired 28 stakes winners so far including the multiple Group 1 winner Quiet Reflection (GB) and has been represented with distinction this year by G2 July S. winner Advertise (GB) and Royal Ascot winner Soldier's Call (GB). The breeding right will be offered as lot 5 and Whitsbury Manor's Ed Harper, who was the subject of a recent TDN Q&A, commented, “Showcasing's last three covering seasons have seen a remarkable increase in the quality of his mares which is very exciting for his future and we were fortunate to be able to secure his home at Whitsbury so that he no longer shuttles to the southern hemisphere. There have been no additional breeding rights sold in Showcasing since his first season at stud, so this is certainly a rare opportunity to get involved, especially given his progeny are doing so well on tracks around the world.”
