Goffs Orby graduates will win €1,000,000 in bonuses during the 2026 Flat season, with €50,000 paid to the winning connections of ten juvenile contests in Ireland and the UK as part of the Goffs Two Million Series.

The Goffs Two Million Series is open to two-year-olds who were catalogued in the 2025 Orby Sale Books 1 and 2, and declared eligible by payment of the qualification fee.

The initial list of races runs from March 15 until mid-June, and Orby graduates will have opportunities to win at 11 racecourses in Ireland and 18 in the UK, including on the opening day of the Flat at the Curragh and in the Brocklesby Stakes on Saturday March, 28 at Doncaster.  

Goffs group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "The Goffs €1,000,0000 Bonus Series offers Orby buyers as many opportunities to win as possible and we look forward to seeing graduates compete for these hugely valuable prizes right from the start of the season.

"Of course, the Two Million Series also features Europe’s richest two-year-old race, the Goffs Million, which provides a wonderful focal point ahead of the Orby Sale with prize money to tenth place.

"The Two Million Series was created to reward buyers and maintain momentum from the sale to the racecourse, and vendors also benefit in the ring as increasing numbers of purchasers are “ticking the box” to qualify for the series."

Last year, Goffs presented 20 €50,000 bonus cheques to a diverse range of owners and trainers, including international operations and syndicates. Winners were sourced from both Orby Book 1 and Book 2, with purchase prices ranging from €5,000 to the €2 million top lot.
