Appearing to relish the muddy going at Churchill Downs on Thursday, Theodore George (Curlin—Sweet Tapper, by Tapit) came from off the pace to graduate with a confident 2 ¼-length victory over Cant Stop Munnings (Munnings). Theodore George was seventh in his career debut going 8 1/2 furlongs on the turf here on Nov. 1, was given an 8-1 chance while getting blinkers on for this off-the-turf return. Pinched back at the start, the chestnut settled in a stalking fifth going around the first turn as Bessamay (Oscar Performance) led through an opening quarter mile in :24.66. Still pulling Danny Sheehy along following a modest half in :50.45, the Winchester Place homebred set off after the front runners approaching the quarter pole. Swung out well wide turning for home, he ground his way to the front in the final sixteenth and drew clear to score by 2 1/4 lengths over Cant Stop Munnings. A daughter of Grade I winner Sweet Talker (Stormin Fever), Sweet Tapper also has an unraced juvenile colt by American Pharoah and a yearling filly by War of Will. She was bred back to Gun Runner. 7th-Churchill Downs, $116,963, Msw, 11-20, 3yo/up, 1 1/8m (off turf), 1:52.10, my, 2 1/4 lengths. THEODORE GEORGE (c, 3, Curlin–Sweet Tapper {SW & GSP, $183,231}, by Tapit) Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $70,465. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

The stallion Chanducoq (lot 709) topped the Arqana Autumn NH Breeding Stock Sale in Deauville on Thursday when selling for €450,000 to Valentin Adam of Adam Bloodstock on behalf of Haras de Cercy's Jacques Cypres. Offered by Haras de la Barbottiere, the 12-year-old is the sire of Grade 3-winning hurdler Rooster Crowning among several other winners. He is also a half-brother to fellow Cercy stallion Cokoriko. “We were keen to get some Voix du Nord blood, as he gave us so much,” said Cypres of the son of Voix Du Nord. “Chanducoq has already produced winners and he's from a great National Hunt maternal line. We'll syndicate him and Haras de Cercy will naturally keep a share.” Second on the buyers' list was the five-year-old mare Verona Du Berlais (Kapgarde) (lot 825), who caught the eye of Guy Petit at €210,000. The Haras du Berlais-consigned mare is a half-sister to Grade 1-winning sire Nirvana Du Berlais (Martaline) and G1 Prix de la Haye Jousselin heroine Toscana Du Berlais (Shantou). Another half-sister, Nice To Meet You (Martaline), is the dam of graded hero and G1 Prix Cambaceres second Nietzsche Has (Zarak). She was sold in foal to Goliath Du Berlais. “It's rare to have this kind of mare on the market,” said Petit. “Her pedigree page is perfect and she has had two updates since the catalogue was published, including Toscana du Berlais's win in the Prix de la Haye Jousselin last weekend. She'll most likely stay in France.” SAS Saubouas Bloodstock snapped up Farah (Cloth Of Stars) (lot 880) for €150,000. A half-sister to graded scorers Paradiso (Kapgarde) and Messagere (Saint Des Saints), the Haras des Pierres Follets-consigned mare is in foal to Doctor Dino. “This mare comes from one of the best National Hunt families and she is in foal to a stallion that doesn't need any introduction,” said Paul Basquin. “I've bought her for a client, and she'll come back to Haras du Saubouas where her offspring will stay in France.” The gross across the four-day Arqana Autumn Sale surpassed €17 million for the first time. On Thursday, a total of 139 lots sold from 217 offered (64%) for a gross of €3,696,000 (+40%). The average rose 30% to €26,590 and the median increased 50% to €15,000. The sales company released a statement from Olivier Delloye, president of Arqana and managing director Freddy Powell which read, “We had a great start to the sale with very strong international demand on the day reserved for horses in training, as evidenced by the 85% clearance rate. The latter was marked by the dissolving of the partnership between the Munir-Souede racing colours and Haras de Saint Voir, which included Mets Ta Ceinture, that achieved an unprecedented top price for a National Hunt filly in Europe when sold for €710,000 to Highflyer Bloodstock, and Merci Mam, sold for €520,000 to the same team. There were also some great prices among the Flat horses, such as Midak and Chibitty, sold for €300,000 and €230,000, respectively to Dermot Farrington. “The rest of the sale was then reserved entirely for jumpers, starting with a small selection of stores. The percentage of horses sold remained solid at 80% in this market segment, and the average price of nearly €23,000 rallied well after a significant decline last year. “The yearling market, meanwhile, saw slightly more mixed results. Despite an increase in lots, the average price of nearly €30,000 remained unchanged compared to last year, and the percentage of horses sold increased by four points to 68%. There were some excellent sales for well-bred lots, such as the son of Doctor Dino consigned by Windermere Stud that sold for €160,000 to Nat Barnett. “The breeding section continued in the same vein, with excellent results for top quality such as Verona Du Berlais, purchased for €210,000 by Guy Petit, and the stallion Chanducoq, sold for €450,000 today, that will now join Haras de Cercy.” The post Arqana Autumn NH Breeding Stock Sale Topped By €450k Chanducoq appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
