Petite Parisienne heads December National Hunt catalogue

A bumper 564 lots have been catalogued by Goffs for their two-day December National Hunt Sale which begins on December 7.

Standout foals set to come under the hammer include a Beat Hollow half-brother to Irish Grand National hero Organisedconfusion (lot 118), a Yeats half-brother to Grade 1-winning hurdler L'Ami Serge (172), and a colt by Sageburg who is out of the Grade 1-winning Glacial Storm mare Kates Charm (150).

The breeding stock section features dual Grade 1 winner Petite Parisienne offered in foal to Shantou (534), and the Gigginstown House Stud-consigned Grade 3-winning Califet mare Analifet (535).

Yearlings catalogued include a son of Arctic Cosmos from the family of Grade 2-winning chaser Texas Jack (24), and Arctic Rose, a Pastorius half-sister to Grade 1 hero Arctic Fire (30).

Goffs group chief executive Henry Beeby said: "It is no exaggeration to say that the December National Hunt Sale catalogue this year is the strongest for this sale in recent times.

"Our National Hunt agents Gerry Hogan, Peter Molony, Jim Rossiter, Ros Easom and Kevin Ross have worked closely with Irish National Hunt breeders to select a superb catalogue with a consistently high level of quality throughout.

"The December National Hunt Sale looks set to be a fitting finale to Goffs' 150th anniversary year."
