The catalog for Goffs Orby Book 2 was released July 28 and is now available to view online. The sale features 433 yearlings set to be offered Oct. 1-2.

Catalog highlights include a Saxon Warrior sister to dual group 3 winner Greenland (Lot 471); an Acclamation filly out of a half sister to 2020 Irish Two Thousand Guineas (G1) winner Siskin (543); a filly by Blue Point out of a half sister to grade 1 winner Capla Temptress (725); a Teofilo three-parts brother to Irish One Thousand Guineas (G1) and Yorkshire Oaks (G1) winner Pleascach (776); plus a Sea The Moon half brother to multiple group scorer and Prix Jean Romanet runner-up Rosscarbery (801). 

Other entries include a Saxon Warrior filly out of Princess Margaret Stakes (G3) winner Soraaya (834); a Sioux Nation half brother to group 2-winning juvenile Jasour (875); and a Cotai Glory brother to listed winner Alpha Capture (895). 

This year has been another strong season for Book 2 graduates, headed by the likes of Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (G1) runner-up Shes Perfect, Greenlands Stakes (G2) scorer James's Delight and multiple listed winner Lady With The Lamp as well as stakes winners in France, Italy, and Poland.

The sale has also delivered excellent value for breeze up consignors, headed by the €9,000 Kodi Bear colt bought by Johnny Hurley of Woodlands Lodge who returned a price of £500,000 when selling to Godolphin at the Doncaster Breeze-Up Sale. Later in the breeze-up season, Roderic Kavanagh's Glending Stables topped the inaugural Goffs Classic Breeze-Up Sale on Irish Derby (G1) weekend with their Starspangledbanner colt selling to Meridian Bloodstock for €330,000, having bought him at last year's Orby Book 2 for just €29,000.  

Every yearling in Orby Book 2 is eligible for the Two Million Series, with its €2,000,000 prize fund divided equally between Europe's richest 2-year-old race, the €1,000,000 Goffs Million and €1,000,000 of €50,000 Bonuses across a program of 2-year-old races in Ireland and the UK.

Goffs group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "Orby Book 2 could be described as one of the hidden gems of the sales season, representing exceptional value and opportunity for buyers, and we celebrated some unforgettable success stories for our buyers throughout 2025 that originated at Book 2.  

"As with Orby Book 1, we emphasized quality in our Book 2 inspections, and slightly reduced numbers to offer buyers a deliberately tighter catalog of classy commercial yearlings. With the sale concluding a day earlier than usual, following feedback from clients with commitments later in the week, we urge buyers to include the entire sale in their plans. It truly is one you cannot afford to miss."
