Goffs boosts sales races for 2007

Goffs has boosted its new sales race initiative by announcing that graduates

of the 2006 Million auction will contest one of two 1-million contests at The

Curragh the following September. This year will see the inaugural running at

that track of the Goffs Million for juvenile colts and fillies alongside the

Fillies' Five Hundred, worth the equivalent in euros.

However, Chairman Eimear Mulhern announced at a reception in Dublin that from

2007 there will be two races, with one restricted to colts and the other to

fillies alone, boasting a combined purse of 3.2-million.

"Last year was an unprecedented year for Goffs, and we thank and salute our

vendors for the support offered to the inaugural Million sale," Mulhern

commented. "We look forward to building on this support as we develop the

concept in the years ahead."
