There are nine yearlings by Widden Stud reverse shuttler Zoustar (Northern Meteor) catalogued while the catalogue also features 16 lots by Rosemont Stud shuttler Starspangledbanner (Choisir). 

Goffs group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "We could not be happier to be back in Ireland at Kildare Paddocks for the 2021 Goffs Orby Sale and even more delighted to present an Orby catalogue that is simply unmissable for international buyers.

"We are so grateful to those Irish breeders who have entrusted us with such a strong selection of potential classy winners and have worked with them to focus on the individual so that we can recommend every Orby yearling on merit to potential purchasers.

"The Irish National Yearling Sale is back where it belongs, in the right place at the right time, and the Goffs team looks forward to welcoming vendors and buyers to the Orby for a stellar selection of many of the best yearlings Ireland has to offer.”
