00:00Day 1 of the Arcana October yearling sale proved as selective as expected.
00:08Exceeding expectations even, with 53 yearlings selling over the 100,000 euro mark.
00:14Lot 209, a son of Camelot, topped the session with the hammer falling at 440,000 euros.
00:20Nicolas de Vatrigan secured the colt for MV Magner.
00:24I'm very happy to secure this beautiful Camelot proven sire.
00:29I've been very lucky in the past.
00:32I bought it for MV Magner.
00:36I bought one yearling in the past for them.
00:38It was a son of Camelot. It was grouped in a place called Mythical.
00:41It's a nice horse also.
00:43I've always loved the sire, so I'm very glad to buy the horse today.
00:48It was a beautiful horse from the Wildenstein family.
00:50Great dam, it was placed in the Opera.
00:53Beautiful Wildenstein family.
00:55It's a classic horse.
00:57Tim Coulmore and partners also purchased Lot 67, a son of Sayouni,
01:01out of the listed winner Modern Eagle,
01:04with the agent Laurent Benoit signing the slip at 420,000 euros.
01:09It's hard to blame Sayouni and Mongeau as a broodmare sire.
01:13For me, he was the best colt of the sales.
01:18We all knew that he wouldn't be cheap.
01:20We had to fight against him.
01:22He went a bit above our valuation,
01:26but when you love him, you just keep trying.
01:30420,000 euros was also the price tag for Lot 49,
01:34a wooden basset colt out of a sister to Charm Spirit.
01:37Strat Coleman Bloodstock bought 14 lots,
01:40including Lot 14 for the happy owner of Odaria.
01:44The Breeders' Cup filly and mare turf winner was found at this sale four years ago.
01:49I bought it for Alison Swinburne,
01:52who bought Aradare here a few years ago.
01:55I hope lightning strikes twice.
01:57The 14 lots by Wooden Basset on offer averaged over 200,000 euros.
02:02Lot 201, a grandson of Nassau Stakes winner Winsley,
02:05by Wooden Basset was one of three lots purchased by Peter Brandt's White Birch Farm.
02:11Another one was a Churchill filly from the maternal line of the Aga Khan Classic champion Shemaka.
02:17We liked her with Jean-Claude.
02:18Lovely filly by a good first-year stallion.
02:21Lovely Aga Khan family.
02:23There's not much else to say.
02:24We hope she's good.
02:25It's a very happy day.
02:27Yes, because with that mare,
02:29we had no fall during four years.
02:32And finally, we had the mare in fall,
02:37and that is the result.
02:39Owner-breeder Jean-Louis Bouchard acquired the only Dubawi of the sale,
02:43a sister to Group One winner,
02:45Antelo Jean.
02:46I love Dubawi.
02:47I love the filly.
02:48She's very tall,
02:49and I bought a stud four or five years ago,
02:55and we're finishing building all the barns,
02:59and I need very good mares for the future.
03:04So I think she should be a very good born mare,
03:09because first she's sister to a Group One winner,
03:13and she's got everything for her.
03:17The sale resumes on Tuesday with part two of the catalogue.
