00:00She's owned by a French football legend, lot 421 Chopie is a logical highlight for day
00:09two of the Arcana Summer Sale, having won the German Guineas in the colours of Antoine
00:13Griezmann.
00:14Bidding started at 500,000 euros for the daughter of Siyouni, who topped the sale at 1.2 million
00:20euros.
00:28Agent Michael Donoghue had the last word for Yulong Investments.
00:31Those fillies, I mean they don't, it's really that a filly of that calibre comes on the
00:35market at public auction, you know, and she was a beautiful physical, she vetted exceptionally
00:39well.
00:40She got a lovely pedigree.
00:41Sam Fairgrave, the manager of Yulong Investments is here, and Mr Zhang.
00:45We're very tempted to maybe send her to California for the Delmar Oaks, that's in the end of
00:50August, or in the middle of August.
00:52She'd be a lovely broodmare addition to the Yulong farm in Australia at the end of her
00:56racing career, but we're very much looking forward to seeing her racing on and seeing
01:00what more she can achieve.
01:01Emmanuel Leceru bought lot 471 Havana Angel.
01:05The group-placed two-year-old brought the hammer down at 320,000 euros.
01:09Yeah, she's going to go to California.
01:11She was purchased for Marsha Neffi in California.
01:14I saw her run in Chantilly the other day, and I was impressed.
01:18She ran very well in a good field.
01:20She had been very impressive at Dieppe before, and she ran in England against some very good
01:24horses.
01:26So we think she has a lot of talent.
01:30Willie Mullins once again will be heading back to Ireland with a group of serious jump
01:34prospect, including lot 493 Spanish Harlem, a winner on his debut over the hurdles in
01:40Otoy, who was bought for Peter Fitzgerald.
01:43We bought the horse tonight for my brother, Peter Fitzgerald of Randox.
01:48We sponsor the Randox Health Grand National.
01:52I'm not saying this horse is for the Grand National, but he's very involved with his
01:56breeding program.
01:58We have about 15 mares here in France and another 15 in Ireland.
02:04So we're very much into our racing.
02:06Strong interest, both international and domestic, boosted the excellent sales result, with an
02:11average price jumping by almost 70% and 90% of the lots sold.
