    • Bearstone Stud has kept the fees for its three stallions at the same price as in 2024, with Dream Ahead at £6,500, Belardo (Ire) at £5,500 and Washington DC (Ire) at £3,500.  “We feel our stallions offer exceptional value in a challenging marketing, none more so than Belardo, who is the highest-ranked sire standing in Europe under £15,000 by the number of European winners in 2024,” said Bearstone Stud owner Terry Holdcroft.  “Further afield US Grade I winner Gold Phoenix added more US black-type to his form, and Fiach McHugh (aka Red Lion) was placed in two valuable Group 1 races in Hong Kong. He was one of 10 new stakes horses for Belardo this year.”  He added, “Proven Group 1 sire of speed Dream Ahead has sired 65 stakes horses worldwide and is ranked alongside leading sprint sires No Nay Never, Dark Angel and Kodiac for the number of Group 1-winning sprinters produced since 2019.   “Lastly, our young sire Washington DC also showed his ability to produce tough and durable sprinters like himself, led by Washington Heights kicking off a successful season this year for him with victory in the Group 3 Abernant Stakes.”   The post Bearstone Fees Unchanged in ‘Challenging Market’ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • During the second session of the Arqana Autumn Sale, a yearling son of Doctor Dino (Fr) (lot 577) brought €130,000 to top the day's trade in a private sale to Joffret Huet of JH Bloodstock for Ecurie Papot. Tuesday's session featured 55 2-year-old stores, and 67 NH yearlings. Consigned by Haras de l'Hotellerie, the bay is out of the listed winner and Grade 3-placed Aterisk (Fr) (No Risk At All {Fr}). This is the extended family of Listed Prix Vulcain winner Abajo (Ire) (Sillery), and Grade 2 winner Astonville (Fr) (Top Ville {Ire}). Also popular at €90,000, a Doctor Dino filly (lot 603) caught the eye of BLM Bloodstock from the Fairway Consignment. She is a half-sister to G2 Prix Chaudenay winner Doha Dream (Fr) (Shamardal) on the Flat and Grade 2 victor Matfog (Ire) (Style Vendome {Fr}) over jumps. Top NH sire Martaline (GB) is under the second dam, as is G1 Prix du Cadran winner Reefscape (GB) (Linamix {Fr}), and multiple group winner and sire Coastal Path (GB). “I've bought her for Haras du Berlais, said Bertrand Le Metayer. “She's a filly that ticks all the boxes–she is good looking, athletic, and well-bred. She's just the type of filly that we are looking for–we're very happy.” A pair of colts by Saint Des Saints (Fr) each brought €75,000, with lot 616 going to Thomas Maudet from the Haras de la Tuilerie draft. The half-brother to G1 Triumph Hurdle hero Farclas (Fr) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) was joined at that price by lot 618b. The latter, sold by Haras de Clairefontaine, was knocked down to Guy Petit and is a full-brother to the Grade 3-winning filly La Boetie (Fr). Topping the stores was AQPS Messire Corton (Fr) (Cokoriko {Fr}) (lot 541), who brought €62,000 from Tom Malone from Haras de la Tuilerie. He is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner and AQPS Black Corton (Fr) (Laverock {Ire}). A total of 122 lots visited the ring on Tuesday, with 87 marked as sold (71.3%) for a gross of €2,001,500 (-8.6%). The average decreased to €23,006 (-10.7%) and the median dropped to €15,000 (-25%). The third session of the Autumn Sale will continue at 11 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
