The world's best racehorse of 2020, Ghaiyyath , topped the November Sale as a foal when bought by Godolphin, and his first crop of foals at Goffs this year include sisters to the dam of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T) winner Line Of Duty  (Lot 716) and to the Champion sprinter Suesa  (Lot 626).

Other exciting new sires with their first foals on offer in November are Arizona , Circus Maximus , Earthlight, Far Above , Hello Youmzain , Kameko , King Of Change , Mohaather , Persian King , River Boyne , Royal Lytham , Sands Of Mali , Sergei Prokofiev , Shaman , Sottsass , Without Parole , and Wooded .

 The first major European foal sale of the year, Goffs November is unmissable for buyers, whether seeking to resell or to race. Along with Ghaiyyath, four-time group 1 winner Alcohol Free  was also purchased as a foal to race by her owner. November Foals proved profitable for so many pinhookers at the Orby Sale, headed by Pier House Stud's Ten Sovereigns colt that sold to Jacob West for €500,000 (US$485,638) having been purchased for €130,000 (US$126,266) last November.

Commenting on publication of the catalog, Goffs Group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "Goffs is the gateway to the world for Irish breeders, and we are extremely grateful that the overwhelming majority send their best foals to the November Sale. Ireland's National Foal Sale consistently proves to be the preferred choice for most pinhookers and so many end users, both of whom have enjoyed so many successes year after year. We are proud to present a truly world-class catalog packed full of outstanding foals with the credentials on paper and conformation to appeal to every major buyer at every level seeking their next pinhooking success story or Group 1 glory."

Goffs November Foal Sale 2022 will follow the same successful format as 2021, with foals cataloged alphabetically by dam each day from Monday to Thursday, inclusive. With strength and depth at all levels of the market, Monday and Thursday are billed as equal, Tuesday will raise the bar to an extent, and Wednesday will feature the most black-type pedigrees. Selling begins at 10 a.m. each day.
