Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 26, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 26, 2018 Friday’s abbreviated final session of the Arqana October Yearling Sale saw 91 additional yearlings go under the hammer in Deauville, with 76 finding new homes for a clearance rate of 83.5%. The average of €12,132 was down 5.3% from the same session last year, while the median remained steady at €10,000. Cumulatively, 571 yearlings were offered throughout the week, with 452 sold. That represented a clearance rate of 79%, which was down from 81% last year. The average and median were also both very slightly off, the average falling 3.7% to €40,345, and the median down to €26,000 from €27,000. The aggregate for four days’ trade was €18,236,000. Topping trade on Friday was lot 545, a first-crop son of GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf and G2 Champagne S. winner Outstrip (GB) bought by BBA Ireland for €37,000. He is the first foal out of the German stakes-placed Sign Your Name (Ger) (Areion) and comes from the extended family of Group 1 winners like Epaulette (Aus), National Defense (Ire), Ave and this year’s G1 1000 Guineas winner Billesdon Brook.
