    • Nominations for every Arqana sale will be made solely through the MyARQANA+ platform from today, with all vendors invited to create an account. Existing MyARQANA accounts will not be automatically transferred to the new platform. Designed to simplify the entire process for vendors, the new MyARQANA+ platform is designed to offer an optimised and seamless process for the management of horses entered at Arqana's sales. Intended initially for vendors, the tool manages every stage of the process, from nominating a horse to going under the hammer. Every breeder, consignor or owner can use it to: Nominate their horses Check their pedigrees and make corrections Submit health documents Access various documents useful for the sales (such as the letter to vendors) Put conformation photos and videos directly online following entry Sign purchase confirmation forms A hotline has been set up until the close of nominations on Friday, March 7 to help people get to grips with using the tool if necessary.

    • The Burns family have been producing top-class racehorses from Lodge Park Stud in County Kilkenny since the early 1970s. Derby winner New Approach (Ire) and Oaks heroine Was (Ire) feature among the farm's long roll of honour and another milestone was achieved last autumn when Lodge Park Stud achieved a world record price for a yearling colt when selling their son of Wootton Bassett (GB) to Amo Racing at 4.3 million gns. That colt hailed from Galileo (Ire) mare Park Bloom (Ire), whose sister Al Naamah (Ire) at the time set a European record at Book 1 when selling for 5 million gns 11 years previously. Safe to say the Burns family know a thing or two about the game. The modus operandi for this thriving stud farm is quality over quantity. In fact, the slogan 'small on numbers, big on quality,' is the caption on Lodge Park Stud's X page while the Burns family make no bones about the fact that the objective is to breed for the racetrack rather than the sales ring. Such a business model has not just sustained the farm but has allowed it to thrive and Damian Burns, who helps run the family's stud alongside his brother Jamie, joined the TDN's Conversations podcast to look back on the breeding stock sales from 2024, discuss his philosophy to breeding, building up his own band of broodmares under the Lodge Park banner and a whole lot more. “I've been standing at stable doors long enough and I suppose it's a privilege to have been able to grow up in a thriving commercial enterprise,” Burns told TDN Europe's Brian Sheerin. “What I have learned is that it's when you breed those [top-class] racehorses, that's what acts as the biggest ambassador for the stud farm. Okay, you might have made huge money in the sales ring but why did they make huge money in the sales ring? It's because New Approach won the Derby or because Was won the Oaks.” He added, “The racetrack comes first for us. So, when you breed an elite racehorse like New Approach, that's what people really stand up and take notice of. And I've learned that that's what drives everything. And if you are not breeding those black-type horses, people are going to walk away. They're not going to come back to you.” To listen to the audio version of this podcast, click here.
