Commenting on publication of the Orby catalogue, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:

“When selections began for this year’s Orby, we set a target to take the Irish National Yearling Sale to new heights in 2022 and build on the success of last year.  Thanks to increased support from leading Irish breeders we have grown the catalogue whilst maintaining the quality across both days and I extend our thanks to every vendor as we are nothing with their beautiful yearlings. This country is synonymous with the thoroughbred and we are so proud to bring international buyers to view even more of the best yearlings Ireland has to offer in the unrivalled sales complex at Kildare Paddocks this September.

The introduction of the Goffs Million last year proved a huge hit with buyers and this year’s race at the Curragh on Saturday 24 September will be a wonderful way to kick off the Orby Sale week when the contenders for the 2023 Million will be on offer within days”.
