Further success this year for November Foals was headed by Mad Cool who won at Grade 1 level in Japan having been purchased as a foal at Goffs by Katsumi Yoshida, while graduates also enjoyed Stakes success throughout Ireland, the UK, and France alongside Classic victories in Germany and Italy. 

A leading source of pinhooking profit, multiple touches were recorded at the 2024 yearling sales with November Foals, such as the €580,000 Orby yearling pinhooked from a €75,000 foal purchase, a €130,000 foal that sold for €450,000 at Orby, a €80,000 foal that resold for €280,000, and a €56,000 November purchase that became a €300,000 Orby yearling.
