Day 1 of the Arcana October yearling sale proved as selective as expected.
00:08
Exceeding expectations even, with 53 yearlings selling over the 100,000 euro mark.
00:14
Lot 209, a son of Camelot, topped the session with the hammer falling at 440,000 euros.
00:20
Nicolas de Vatrigan secured the colt for MV Magner.
00:24
I'm very happy to secure this beautiful Camelot proven sire.
00:29
I've been very lucky in the past.
00:32
I bought it for MV Magner.
00:36
I bought one yearling in the past for them.
00:38
It was a son of Camelot. It was grouped in a place called Mythical.
00:41
It's a nice horse also.
00:43
I've always loved the sire, so I'm very glad to buy the horse today.
00:48
It was a beautiful horse from the Wildenstein family.
00:50
Great dam, it was placed in the Opera.
00:53
Beautiful Wildenstein family.
00:55
It's a classic horse.
00:57
Tim Coulmore and partners also purchased Lot 67, a son of Sayouni,
01:01
out of the listed winner Modern Eagle,
01:04
with the agent Laurent Benoit signing the slip at 420,000 euros.
01:09
It's hard to blame Sayouni and Mongeau as a broodmare sire.
01:13
For me, he was the best colt of the sales.
01:18
We all knew that he wouldn't be cheap.
01:20
We had to fight against him.
01:22
He went a bit above our valuation,
01:26
but when you love him, you just keep trying.
01:30
420,000 euros was also the price tag for Lot 49,
01:34
a wooden basset colt out of a sister to Charm Spirit.
01:37
Strat Coleman Bloodstock bought 14 lots,
01:40
including Lot 14 for the happy owner of Odaria.
01:44
The Breeders' Cup filly and mare turf winner was found at this sale four years ago.
01:49
I bought it for Alison Swinburne,
01:52
who bought Aradare here a few years ago.
01:55
I hope lightning strikes twice.
01:57
The 14 lots by Wooden Basset on offer averaged over 200,000 euros.
02:02
Lot 201, a grandson of Nassau Stakes winner Winsley,
02:05
by Wooden Basset was one of three lots purchased by Peter Brandt's White Birch Farm.
02:11
Another one was a Churchill filly from the maternal line of the Aga Khan Classic champion Shemaka.
02:17
We liked her with Jean-Claude.
02:18
Lovely filly by a good first-year stallion.
02:21
Lovely Aga Khan family.
02:23
There's not much else to say.
02:24
We hope she's good.
02:25
It's a very happy day.
02:27
Yes, because with that mare,
02:29
we had no fall during four years.
02:32
And finally, we had the mare in fall,
02:37
and that is the result.
02:39
Owner-breeder Jean-Louis Bouchard acquired the only Dubawi of the sale,
02:43
a sister to Group One winner,
02:45
Antelo Jean.
02:46
I love Dubawi.
02:47
I love the filly.
02:48
She's very tall,
02:49
and I bought a stud four or five years ago,
02:55
and we're finishing building all the barns,
02:59
and I need very good mares for the future.
03:04
So I think she should be a very good born mare,
03:09
because first she's sister to a Group One winner,
03:13
and she's got everything for her.
03:17
The sale resumes on Tuesday with part two of the catalogue.
