Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said, “We are delighted to see such a quality line-up for the Goffs Million. The journey to the Million began this time last year when the owners selected them as yearlings at the Orby Sale, and we can't wait to see their Million dreams come to fruition on Saturday. The prize fund has increased to €1,234,000 with any surplus of entry fees added back into the pot along with our sponsorship fee and HRI contribution.

“Goffs Million is all about the horse and, together with the Curragh, HRI, AIRO and the ITBA, we have put a lot of work into creating a day that celebrates the racehorse, including a real focus on the information and entertainment racegoers will have access to on course, while for connections of the Million runners we will ensure they have a truly memorable day.”
