Farm Manager at Haras de la Perelle, William Rimaud is next up in TDN Europe's consignor Q&A ahead of the Arqana August Sale. Haras de la Perelle will offer a stellar cast of yearlings from Saturday and Rimaud runs through the consignment as well as offering up plenty of interesting nuggets below. You have quite a big draft for the August Sale? That must be very exciting. What horses should we look out for? We have a bigger draft than usual and have a nice mix of proven and unproven stallions as well as first produce from some of the mares on the farm. Some of the yearlings are out of some mares that we bought in England a few years ago and we are continuing to support those mares by sending them to proven stallions. We have some good horses out of mares that we are still strongly supporting so that's very exciting for us. In particular, we have a very nice Camelot colt [lot 191] from the family of Pensee Du Jour. It's a pretty active family and the colt looks very athletic and looks as though he wants a saddle on his back. We also have a nice St Mark's Basilica colt out of Endless Joy, who is another mare we bought in England. He is a nice and balanced colt. We also have nice yearlings by Siyouni, Wootton Bassett and Baaeed. What young sires are you most looking forward to seeing the progeny [yearlings or foals] of this season? The Baaeeds are very exciting. I have seen a few of them around different farms and they are very nice. Our Baaeed filly [lot 152] is actually the first ever horse that was born by the stallion so she has already had a few articles written about her! She is developing very well and we're very happy about her as she shows a lot of quality. When you think of the sire and how good a racehorse he was, it's going to be super exciting. In your experience, what type of horse does particularly well at the August Sale? This sale comes up very early in the year. What you see in August is going to be so much different in October or December of the same year for example. Personally, I like to bring a horse with good movement to this sale. That is a good thing to look for. What is your best memory on the sale ground at Arqana? I am only 33 so I don't have that many memories of selling horses in Arqana yet but I do have experience of having good surprises here. For example, you think a horse will go for one price and then it goes and makes a lot more than you expected. Those surprises and those moments are really nice. What I really like about this sale is that it gives you an opportunity to showcase the horses that you have been working with ever since they were born on the farm. We work hard to get them to the sales and getting them there is always a good achievement. I personally like showing horses who have good minds. I'd love to tell you about great memories of a top price but hopefully we are working towards that in the future. Let's pretend the Camelot that you mentioned, or any other of your yearlings, goes on and makes big money. Where would you celebrate and what guests would you bring? I am pretty sure I would go and celebrate with the boss, Mr [Juergen H.] Winter. I would definitely have some drinks with the staff and I think Le Drakkar would be the place to celebrate. If you weren't involved in bloodstock, what career path would you have taken? I always dreamed of being a pilot. On the business side of things, I really love logistics so maybe I would have gone down that road had I not chosen this career path. Tell us something that people don't know about you? I love acting and I do comedy in Deauville. I have done a few plays recently and I really enjoy that. It's nice to be able to take a bit of time away from that crazy world that we love. Do you have any superstitions or good luck charms? I always have my winning tie that I like to wear to the big days at the races. Having an Irish mother, I was always told never to put your shoes on the table because it's bad luck. So I don't do that. Best piece of advice you ever received? Respect. You always respect others, your employees and the horse. Respect and honesty.

No need to keep being a rude prick…. once again your missing the obvious. I know NZ TAB & Betcha are run by Entain, i get that. But how can they come up with that figure that is up 12%. Ok, so its easy to sort TAB figures on previous 12 months, but Betcha only started around this time last year, so what figure used there? Hopefully somebody can post nicely, ta -
