Over 300 colts and fillies have been nominated to the first edition of the four-race juvenile Arqana Series, and those fees plus Arqana's €500,000 contribution have increased the total prize-money for the races reserved for Thoroughbreds born in 2021 from €1.2 million to €1.5 million.
A total of €1.36 million will be distributed to the owners and €140,000 will be allocated to the vendors of the winning horses. Prize-money will be dispersed from first to fifth place. The four races will be held on Aug. 17–the €200,000 Arqana Series des Poulains, the €200,000 Arqana Series des Pouliches, and the €320,000 Arqana Series Summer Criterium–and Sept. 30, the 2-year-old finale–the €320,000 Arqana Series Criterium d'Automne.
In 2024, the first edition of the €320,000 Arqana Series for 3 Years, a 2000-metre conditions race for 3-year-olds, will be conducted for the first time that August. For more information on the series and the purse distributions, please click here.
