Goffs Million
The Goffs Million is a flat horse race in Ireland open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at the Curragh and scheduled to take place each year in September. Originally, the Goffs Million was a race series run between 2006 and 2009. It was reintroduced in 2022 as a single race to promote the following week's sales.[1] HistoryThe race is funded by Goffs, a leading Irish bloodstock auctioneer and was reserved for horses catalogued as yearlings in the previous year's Goffs Million Sale.[citation needed] The first running was in 2006, when the Goffs Million was a single race contested over 7 furlongs (1,408 metres).[2] The event was split into two separate divisions in 2007. The divisions initially comprised the Goffs Fillies Million for fillies,[3] and the Goffs (C & G) Million for colts and geldings.[4] A new format was introduced in 2009, when the divisions were the Goffs Million Sprint (over 6 furlongs),[5] and the Goffs Million Mile (over 8 furlongs).[6] The races were discontinued in 2010.[citation needed] The race was reintroduced in 2022 and was restricted to horses in the catalogue at the 2021 Goffs Orby Sale.[1] RecordsLeading jockey (2 wins):
