00:00Day 2 of the 2022 Arcana Autumn Sale welcomes stores and yearlings bred to jump.

00:10Guy Petit, top buyer for the day, secured the top two lots of the store segment in back-to-back

00:15bids, both for his British client Clive Poptibrooks.

00:19Lot 442, Monticello, a son of Carrot Car, out of a sister to two National Hunt winners

00:25over the jumps, brought €85,000.

00:28We had everything of a resource, so we are very happy to have him, and we'll see, time

00:33will tell if I was right.

00:34I told my client if he wins the championship, it will be cheap then.

00:37The following lot, 442 Bess, a filly by Saint Dessin, whose dam has already produced four

00:43winners over the jump, including two black types, sold for €80,000.

00:48She's a stamp of a mare, she's a broodmare prospect in the making, and she could be a

00:55resource as well, so very happy, very happy for both of them, that's the two we wanted

01:01and we got them.

01:02We didn't steal them, but we got them, so it was good, a good day.

01:06The overall top prize for the day went to a yearling by First Crop Sire, Goliath Duberlais,

01:12sold to the Chantilly-based trainer, Davide Sattaglia, for €130,000.

01:25We did a good job today by selling it, a little better than the price of the mare's flesh,

01:30but above all, money is one thing, above all it's a very nice yearling, it's from a young

01:34yearling, whose quality we don't know yet, but the mare, on the other hand, it's practically

01:40a no-brainer, so he had a lot of assets in his game today to get a good score.

01:44He's a good horse, he moves very well, he has a very good family, he has no flaws,

01:50I think it can become a good horse.

01:54Lot 557, a colt by Dr Dinot, replicating the crossing of black-type jumper Ardina,

02:00was knocked down to David Minton at €90,000.

02:04I love polyglot mares, I own quite a good polyglot mare myself, so that made all the

02:08difference, he has plenty of skirt size and scope, and of course I remember the pedigree

02:12very well, because Ardoon was trained by Gavin Pritchard-Gordon many years ago, and Frank

02:18Feeney owned it, he named his stud in County Kildare Ardoon's stud, and he happens to be

02:23the father of Antonia Devin, and they bred the horse, so it was all too much of a coincidence.

02:31Another Dr Dinot colt, out of the Arcana Summer Sale Graduate Presidente line, was acquired

02:37for a new-coming owner, Bertrand Diar, at the price tag of €85,000.

02:42It's Antonin Pelsi who bought it for a new client, who invested to keep his horses in

02:49training, and he will certainly come to train at my place, so that's good news.

02:53He was moving very well, he had a great mentality, he could be a talented prospect too, so that's

02:57good for the future.

02:58I remember him well, I saw him race at Hilton Ames among others, he's a great guy.

03:03The Autumn Sale resumes Wednesday, with more National Hunt bred yearlings.
