Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 2, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 2, 2019 Arqana’s two-day Summer Sale kicked off on Tuesday with a session comprised of flat breeze-up horses and stores. While stores filled the first two slots on the price leaderboard, Darano (Fr) (Ballingarry {Ire}) selling for €130,000 and Hard Wood (Fr) (Martaline {Fr}) for €115,000, it was a daughter of Siyouni (Fr) that led the breeze-up section when selling to Paul Nataf for €110,000. Lot 12 was consigned by Windmill Stables and is the second foal out of the G2 Rockfel S. winner Al Thakhira (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), whose 3-year-old by Toronado (Ire), Eraidah (Fr), is a winner. The filly is also from the family of Ten Sovereigns (Ire) (No Nay Never). Next among the best sellers from the breeze-up realm was lot 28, Ecurie La Frenee’s colt by Authorized (Ire). The colt already named Gloriano (Ire) was bought by Peter and Ross Doyle for €75,000. A colt from the first crop of Due Diligence (lot 31) fetched €61,000 from Yohea. In all, 130 were sold from 165 offered, good for a clearance rate of 79%, well up on the 61.5% achieved on the same day last year. The average dipped 4% to €27,612, while the median was up marginally to €21,000 from €20,000. The session grossed €3,589,500, up 6.5% on last year.
