Arqana Breeding Stock Sale Now Online

The international success of the progeny of mares bought at the ARQANA Breeding Stock Sale (December 7 - 10) keeps growing.

This year notably saw WATCH ME win the Coronation Stakes (Gr.1) at Royal Ascot. She was sold “in utero” when her dam WATCHFUL was knocked down to Cocheese Bloodstock from Coulonces Consignment in December 2015.

On the other side of the world, ADMIRE MARS and FIEREMENT, out of VIA MEDICI and LUNE D’OR respectively, both won at the highest level in Japan. The former took the NHK Mile Cup (Gr.1), while the latter was victorious in the Tenno Sho (Gr.1). They are followed by Sydney Cup (Gr.1) winner SHRAOOH, ACCON, ALOUNAK, BIG BROTHERS PRIDE, CARTIEM, CITY LIGHT, DIAMANTA, DUBIOUS, HOPEFUL, MORGAN LE FAYE, SOFFIA, SQUARE DE LUYNES, WICHITA and ZIYAD.
