Goffs launches Orby sale with catalogue featuring 474 yearlings by stellar sires

Goffs have unveiled this year’s Orby catalogue, which features brothers and sisters to a host of Classic and Group 1 performers among its 474 world class yearlings.

Orby yearlings have tasted top-level victory on the international stage again this year, the graduates headed by Lucky Vega, winner of the Phoenix Stakes, Raging Bull, who is now a multiple Grade 1 winner in the US, and Queen Supreme, who recorded Group 1 success in South Africa.

The latest black-type Orby winner came at York’s Ebor meeting on Wednesday, when Gear Up took the Group 3 Acomb Stakes for Mark Johnston, who purchased him at Goffs last year.

Goffs group chief executive Henry Beeby said: “Every year many of the best bred and best-looking yearlings in Ireland are selected by their breeders, and pinhookers, to be offered at Orby. And every year a global audience descends on Goffs to attend the sale at which some of the highest prices are achieved for yearlings anywhere. The follow up is that so many of those yearlings go on to top-class success around the globe, as we have seen again throughout the past year.

"Of course, 2020 is unlike any other with an ever changing landscape caused by Covid-19. However we are indebted to every vendor for the trust they have placed in our service once again and for maintaining their support of the Orby with drafts of outstanding global appeal.

"The team at Goffs and our network of superb international agents have taken great heart from one constant that has remained; the quality of the Orby catalogue. This year the attending crowd may not be as big but Goffs Online will allow owners to engage with the sale from afar having consulted their agent on the ground. As in so many ways Goffs will ensure the best service possible to all our clients, wherever they may be or under whatever circumstances they find themselves.”
