00:00Day one of the 2022 Arcana Summer Sale started with unraised two-year-olds bred for the flat.
00:09Italian agent Marco Bozzi secured the top prize slot 33 at €220,000 for Prince Saud
00:15bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
00:18They love Medagliadoro. For Saudi it will be ideal and he's a really nice horse. We
00:23were waiting for him here. Me and Renato, we went to see him in Ireland one month ago
00:31and he loved the horse. So we are very happy to get him.
00:34Marco Bozzi led the buyers for the flat segment with a total of seven purchases, including
00:39lot 72, also acquired for Saudi interests at €110,000.
00:44For Isham Abdul Wahed, that is his son, and he will be training now down in Saudi.
00:53The ever-popular Dr Dino sired the top four lots of the store segment. Lot 114 out of
01:01the serial group winner Miss de Chendoux brought the hammer down at €210,000.
01:07So it's a great surprise. He was a very fine horse. I really like him. I always sell very
01:14few horses in that July sale. We try to select them. We'll have a very good support like
01:19always with all the English, Irish and French. They were on the bidders as well. So I would
01:24like to say thanks to all the support.
01:26I bought him for a new French owner in association with my dad and other friends. So I'm very
01:34happy. He's a very good walker. He was bred at home. So I know him for a long time and
01:41I'm really happy. It's a very good horse and the whole family is very nice.
01:47104, another two-year-old by Dr Dino, the first offspring from a full sister to half monarch and
01:54Lord Duménil, sold for €160,000.
01:58A big horse is probably going to take a bit of time, but he really looks like a chaser
02:03in the making. Very good stallion, very good family. François trained many horses from
02:10the family and we know the breeders are very good.
02:14François Nicole will also train lot 145 by Dr Dino out of a full sister to Group 1 winner
02:20Shannon Rock, sold by a leading vendor, Channel Consignment, on behalf of Araduménil for
02:25€120,000.
02:27Well, my job is much easier when you're selling Dr Dino's. And thanks to the Devin family
02:37because for their fidelity and it's great to work with top breeders like them.
02:45Lot 214, a gelding by Authorise, will head to the United Kingdom to be trained by Gold
02:51Cup winning jockey Sam Thomas.
02:53Well, Sam Thomas is my trainer and he works at home and he picked it himself and he thought
03:01it was the nicest horse here and I got a lot of respect for Sam and I bought it for him.
03:08The Arcana Summer Sale resumes Friday morning at 11 with the wildcard and stallion prospect
03:14Macaloun. See you then.
