The largest sale of Irish foals and breeding stock at Goffs this week is expected to generate trading of up to €40 million.

This total would represent a new record for Goffs from this annual sale, surpassing last year’s mark of €35.7 million over the seven days.

Buyers are expected from across Europe as well as the US, Japan and Australia.

Some 1,753 horses have been catalogued for the sales, which will run until Saturday.

Beauty Parlour won the French 1,000 Guineas and was placed in the French Oaks and will be sold carrying a foal by champion racehorse Kingman.
