Progeny of mares sold at the November Breeding Stock Sale won eight group 1 races across seven countries in 2024. Porta Fortuna, Romantic Warrior, Scorthy Champ, New Century, Whistlejacket, Khaadem, Kalapour, and Lugal won at the top level in Ireland, UK, France, North America, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia. Their dams were sold for prices ranging from €11,500 to €150,000, illustrating why Europe's first major breeding stock sale of the season is an unmissable source of quality and value on a global scale.
Porta Fortuna, a daughter of Too Precious who was bought by Ana O'Brien for just €11,500 (US$12,734) at Goffs, added the Matron Stakes (G1), Coronation Stakes (G1), and Falmouth Stakes (G1) to a stellar career that also includes group 1 glory at 2 and is on target for the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T) next month. Romantic Warrior, whose dam Folk Melody was an €82,000 (US$87,142) purchased from Godolphin at Goffs in 2016, won a hat trick of grade 1s in Japan and Hong Kong to become an eight-time grade 1 winner. A son of €28,000 (US$51,146) 2008 November mare White Daffodil, Khaadem thrilled connections with a second consecutive victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot.
