Michael O'Leary to cash in on multiple horses as he puts Gigginstown Grade 1 winners up for sale

Goffs UK September Sale will once again be headlined by some of Michael O'Leary's most highly-rated horses.

Among his 18 horses to be put up for auction are Felix Desjy, Battleoverdoyen and Notebook.

In recent years The Gigginstown House Stud dispersal has provided the famed auction with its most sought-after animals as O'Leary looks to exit the horse racing world.

In his last outing, nine-year-old Battleoverdoyen placed fifth in the Galway Plate. Similarly, stable-mate Felix Desjy is also nine.

Meanwhile another nine-year-old in Notebook, who is trained by Henry De Bromhead, will also court plenty of attention from prospective buyers.

This latest edition of Goffs will take place in Doncaster on Wednesday, September 7.

Tim Kent, managing director of Goffs UK, said: “The Gigginstown dispersal has become a true highlight of the autumn sales calendar.

"It’s an annual highlight of the September Horses In Training Sale as it attracts buyers from throughout Europe to Doncaster and it’s great to have another sizable draft to offer in 2022.

"Once again, the sale will see Gleadhill House Stud well represented, this time with a draft of unraced National Hunt horses, and there are some smart younger horses with form to be offered as well, so there is something for everyone in the sale.”

Additional entries are still being accepted ahead of the event with its full catalogue available here.
