They include a Dubawi filly out of Classic winner Peaceful and a Too Darn Hot colt out of Group 1 Matron Stakes winner Fiesolana. As well as the Laurens there are another trio of Frankel colts including the son of a Classic-placed daughter of Dar Re Mi, one of three entries owned by Kiltinan Castle Stud, and a colt out of G1 Pretty Polly winner, Urban Fox.The catalogue also boasts progeny by many of the world's most sought-after sires, including Blue Point, Camelot, Chaldean, Dubawi, Frankel, Justify, Kingman, Lope De Vega, Mehmas, Night Of Thunder, No Nay Never, Sea The Stars, St Mark's Basilica, Starspangledbanner, Wootton Bassett and more. Commenting on publication of the Orby Book 1 catalogue, Goffs chief executive Henry Beeby said, “This is always an exciting time of the year as we launch the Orby catalogue but 2026 has us at a whole new level given the unprecedented support we have received from breeders and pinhookers this year. “That means that buyers will find outstanding depth and quality at Orby Book 1 as even more leading vendors have backed the 2026 edition with a greater share of their best yearlings. Following consistent gains year on year, culminating in record trade at Orby 25 we were blown away by the hunger for places as we visited farms in the spring and were shown a mouthwatering selection of classy potential winners. We are extremely grateful for that support and believe it has produced the strongest collection of yearlings ever assembled at Kildare Paddocks.”He added, “The international success of our graduates continues to highlight the quality on offer at Orby, and it has been especially pleasing to see the diversity of owners and trainers enjoying success with Orby purchases this season.  Prize money of course remains a major issue for the industry, and we have been delighted that the impact of the Goffs Two Million Series continues to provide buyers with a unique incentive that sets the Orby Sale apart.”Book 1 of the Orby Sale takes place on Monday 28 and Tuesday 29 September and will be followed by the two-day Orby Book 2 Sale. The catalogue for Book 2 will be released on Wednesday.The post Beeby Says Orby Sale Operating At “Whole New Level” As Catalogue Is Released appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
