Arqana Gets Green Light For Autumn Sale

Arqana has reached an agreement with local authorities that will allow its Autumn Sale to take place on its original dates later this month despite the national lockdown in France. Access to the sales complex will be restricted to those attending in a professional capacity, and the sale will take place entirely outdoors in the ring in the main yard.

Inspections will begin on Nov. 13 and the sale will begin the following day with a flat-bred yearling session. After a day’s break, horses in training will be sold on Nov. 16, stores on Nov. 17, National Hunt-bred yearlings on Nov. 18 and National Hunt foals, fillies and broodmares on Nov. 19.

Arqana Releases Autumn Catalogues

Arqana has published the catalogues for its Autumn Sale, which will be held in two stages next month.

The first catalogue comprises 254 flat-bred yearlings which will go under the hammer on Nov. 14. This catalogue has been organized in partnership with Osarus, which opted to cancel its traditional September Yearling Sale in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and re-route its entries to this sale and Arqana’s October Yearling Sale.

Following a two-day break for inspections, 200 flat and National Hunt horses in training will be offered on Nov. 16. Eye-catching flat offerings include this year’s G3 Deutsches St Leger scorer Quian (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) (lot 424); and Aga Khan 3-year-olds Irshad (Fr) (Raven’s Pass) (lot 393) and Vardani (Fr) (Charm Spirit {Ire}) (lot 394).

The focus will switch entirely to the jumps on Nov. 17 and 18 with a day of stores and a day of National Hunt-bred yearlings.
