€1.4m Justify Filly Tops Goffs Orby Day 1

Tara Madgwick - Monday Sep 28

The first day of the Goffs Orby Book 1 Yearling Sale always had a potential standout and that’s the way it unfolded with the half-sister by Justify to 2025 Champion 3YO Filly Minnie Hauk selling for €1.4million.

Top lot on Day 1 at Goffs Orby Book 1.

Consigned by Camas Park Stud for her breeder Ben Sangster, the star filly from Multilingual was bought by MV Magnier.

Her half-sister Minnie Hauk topped this sale in 2023 when making €1.85million and went on to win three G1 Oaks races and finish second in last year’s Arc de Triomphe. She is set to run in race again this coming weekend.

“In fairness to Ben and Lucy, they’ve been great supporters of ours for God knows how long,” said MV Magnier. “Ollie [Sangster, son] is doing great as a trainer too, and this is a great result for the family.

“Justify is having another very good year and Haffner looks like he could be a very good horse, hopefully. With the way Justify is going, we’d have the utmost confidence in him. If this filly is any way as good as her half-sister, I think we’ll be doing all right.” 

Justify has sired 20 stakes-winners worldwide in 2026 headed by four Group I winners – Scandinavia(4h), Voyager (2f), British Isles (5h) and of course Australian bred Spicy Martini (5m).

He has two sons at Coolmore Australia in City of Troy (USA) and Storm Boy with both having their first foals on the ground this spring.
