Young Consignor Moulin Tops Osarus Breeze-Up Sale With City Light Filly

[Wandering Eyes]

Vendors found the going tough at the lower end of the market at the Osarus Breeze-Up Sale on Wednesday where, from just 32 horses offered, 22 were sold at a clearance rate of 68%. The top lot, a €37,000 City Light (Fr) filly that sold to trainer Nicolas Perret, was consigned by 25-year-old handler Quentin Moulin, who described himself as happy with the result in what was a “demanding market”.

“The filly is a beautiful horse-a model designed for speed,” Moulin said. “She came to work very quickly and was diligent in her preparation for today's exercise.”

The City Light filly was one of three horses the young consignor brought to the Osarus Breeze-Up Sale. He failed to sell a colt [lot 32] by the stallion but managed to sell a filly by Donjuan Triumphant (Ire) for €17,000 to Maxime Cesandri. 

Overall, the sale aggregate stood at €274,500, which represented a massive drop from the €726,850 achieved last year when there were over twice as many horses [73] catalogued. The average for Wednesday's sale stood at €12,778 while the median was €10,000.

Moulin said, “I consider myself happy with my sales because the market has not been so generous for everyone. I am extremely grateful to my team who did an exceptional job on the horses in order to bring them to this sale in magnificent condition. I have no doubt that this has greatly helped us to face an extremely demanding market.”

He added, “The City Light filly sold at a price that I think is in line with her value but the colt is still on the market. We are a young stable-only three years active and based in Commeaux, Normandy. We have just one more horse to sell this year, a Hello Youmzain (Fr) filly who will go to Arqana in July and we mostly do a lot of pre-training and breaking. We are pleased with today.”
