Goffs was sprinkled with some Triple Crown stardust at this week’s Orby Sale, with Justin Zayat among the new faces hoping to source a champion at the sale.

Zayat is racing and stallion manager for his family’s Zayat Stables, owner-breeders of the greatest American racehorse of recent times, American Pharoah, and he has been active at the major European sales so far this year as part of the operation’s plans to expand.
