De Treville Filly Highlights Part Three At Arqana

[Wandering Eyes]

The October Yearling Sale at Arqana came to a close on Friday with a respectable Part Three trade highlighted by a €42,000 filly by De Treville who sold from Ombreville to Antoine de Watrigant. 

The last day of the sale saw 142 yearlings go under the hammer. A total of 84% of them were sold for an average price of €10,916 and a total turnover of €1,299,000.

Following the sale, Eric Hoyeau, Chairman of Arqana and Freddy Powell, Executive Director, said, “We have adapted the format of the sale to the offer, but it is not necessarily definitive. Each year we try to be as close as possible to what we perceive from the market and the production, so that each yearling is valued as much as possible. 

“Following an excellent 2021 edition where the turnover had increased by 45%, the sale has gone well. A total of 69 horses were sold for €100,000 or more, compared to 62 in 2021 and 38 in 2020. Demand also remained strong and constant throughout the five days. We can only be satisfied with these results. Maintaining this would not have been possible without the work of all our vendors, whom we must thank, as well as our teams in the offices and in the yards. Let's remember that all the yearlings presented during the five days are eligible for the Arqana Series, which will start next year.”

With 26 colts and fillies sold for a total of €2,047,000, Haras d'Etreham finished at the head of the vendors' table. Second place went to Écurie des Monceaux, vendors of 17 lots for a total of €2,020,000. La Motteraye consignment completed the podium with 34 yearlings sold for €1,928,500. 

Stroud Coleman Bloodstock took the top spot on the buyers' list with 10 yearlings purchased for a total of €1,482,000. Nicolas de Watrigant (Mandore International Agency) took second place with 11 yearlings bought for €901,000. Finally, Ghislain Bozo (Meridian International) took third place with 11 yearlings bought for €854,000.
