    • Lily Hart (lot 207) came into Arqana's Vente d'Elevage a sought-after prospect; a Listed winner and Group-placed four-year-old filly, by Galileo and in foal to Wootton Bassett. She was, said Haras du Cadran's Pierre Talvard, his number one selection of the sale, and when the hammer fell and she was his at €1.05 million, he was temporarily too moved to speak. “She was my selection of the sale,” he said, wiping tears from his face. “I would have done anything for her. She is a daughter of Galileo, winner of a Listed race, in foal to Wootton Bassett–everything that makes me happy. Unreal.” Asked what his plans were for the La Motteraye Consignment member, he said, “I don't know yet, but I'm going to reflect a little bit on it.” Bred by Coolmore, and raced by them in partnership with Masaaki Matsushima and Westerberg, and trained by Aidan O'Brien, the filly was the second on the day to reach seven figures. The Galileo—Wootton Bassett cross has produced 10 stakes winners and four Group 1 winners, including the recent dual Group 1 winner of the Prix Jean Luc Lagardere and Criterium International in Puerto Rico (Wootton Bassett).

    • The live racing card at Woodbine set for Thursday, Dec. 11 will begin one hour earlier to accommodate the new card after the Dec. 4 program was cancelled following one race, Woodbine Entertainment has announced. The 10-race Thursday card will start the final week of live racing for the 2025 season at the venue, and will now kick off at 4:30pm local time. Cold weather bringing plenty of snow rolled through the area earlier in the week, and the cancellation was agreed upon by the Jockeys' Guild, the HBPA, and Woodbine in the interest of safety.

    • It was just the one race that they had the malfunction, then spent the extra time reviewing all they had, which was the video footage. Better to take the extra time and get it right.  Pretty clear cut in the end

    • Group winner Half Sovereign took the lead at Arqana's Vente d'Elevage when selling for €2.6 million to Henry Lascelles on Saturday evening. A winner of the G3 Prix Miesque for Karl Burke, lot 195 is a granddaughter of the stakes-placed Wedding Party (Groom Dancer), who foaled a trio of black-type horses. Consign, Ltd., offered the juvenile filly, who was acquired by Burke for just 12,000gns out of the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale. Bred by Haras des Trois Chapelles, the Spratt Properties and Elaine Burke-owned bay is a daughter of Baileys Afterparty (Supplicant). “It's brilliant,” said Karl Burke. “She comes back to us as well, so it's a win-win situation. I didn't expect that. She was just a lovely model. I worked the Somerville with Elaine, my wife, and we just loved her. We couldn't believe we got her for 12 grand. Literally, before I signed the docket, Mick Easterby came up and offered me a grand profit. “Luckily for Adam [Spratt], a friend of his came up and said, 'Would you sell half of her?' I hadn't met Adam at that time, but I said, 'Yeah, no problem.' He's a lovely guy and we would have sold half of her to somebody, so I'm delighted it was him.” Burke added of the next targets for Half Sovereign, “We'll see how she trains, we've got a lot of good yardsticks, but I would have thought it would be a French trial and then the French Guineas.” The post Henry Lascelles Snaps Up Half Sovereign For €2.6m At Arqana appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
