Siblings to Emily Upjohn and Teona among top-class Goffs November Foal Sale catalogue

Sea The Stars full-brothers to Emily Upjohn and Teona headline a top-class catalogue for the Goffs November Foal Sale which takes next month.

Catalogued as lots (641) and (566) they are two of the standout foals in a selection which includes relations to Group 1 performers with other highlights being the Kingman half-siblings to Group 1 winner Jannah Rose (754) and the Group 2 winner and St Leger runner-up Arrest (700).

The Camelot half-brother to 1,000 Guineas and Prix Rothschild heroine Mother Earth is another pedigree highpoint while there is also a Lope de Vega half-sister to Lowther Stakes winner Living In The Past from the family of 2,000 Guineas and Dewhurst winner Chaldean (574); a No Nay Never colt out of Listed-winning Galileo mare Thoughts Of June (535) and another filly by Kingman (540), who is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Basil Martini.

A total of 1021 foals have been catalogued for the four-day sale and in addition to those elite stallions already mentioned sires such as Dark Angel, Invincible Spirit, Mehmas, Night Of Thunder Siyouni, Too Darn Hot and Wootton Bassett are represented.
