History

The 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]
