Final Entry Stage For October Sale Criterium

[Wandering Eyes]

The final entry stage for the Haras de Bouquetot – Criterium de la Vente d’Octobre Arqana ends on Sept. 27. The Criterium, which takes place over a mile at ParisLongchamp on Oct. 5, is worth €275,000 and is open to graduates of the prior year’s Arqana’s October Yearling Sale. Full race conditions are available here. Only horses kept eligible at the prior May 31 declaration stage may be entered at this final stage, and the full list of horses that remain eligible is available here. No fee will be charged until declarations on Oct. 3, when a cost of €500 per horse will be charged.

In addition to the €275,000 on offer in prizemoney-which will be paid out to eighth place–coverings to Bouquetot stallions Shalaa (Ire), Olympic Glory (Ire) and Zelzal (Fr) will be awarded to the breeders of the first three horses past the post.

The first two runnings of the Criterium have highlighted talented runners: the inaugural winner Dice Roll (Fr) (Showcasing {GB}) went on to win the G3 Prix Djebel and was third in the G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains, while last year’s winner Master Brewer (Fr) (Reliable Man {GB}) was subsequently exported to Hong Kong.
