Arqana President Eric Hoyeau and Executive Director Freddy Powell said, “In a record-breaking year, the 2023 edition of the Vente d'Élevage has concluded with very good results. With four fillies and mares making over €1 million, including  an historic top price of over €4 million, turnover from the  December sale exceeded €45 million for the second time.  Driven by buyers from all over Europe, as well as from the United States, Australia, Japan, India, Turkey and France,  demand remained buoyant. The middle market segment also remained strong, with a high level of activity both  internationally and domestically. We would like to take this  opportunity to thank all our vendors, as well as the buyers who once again turned out in force. We would also like to thank all our teams, in the yards, the stud farms and in the offices, for their involvement during this great marathon that is the Vente d'Elevage. As this marks the end of the sales year, we wish everyone a very happy holiday season.”

“A big congratulations also to the stud staff and our team in the yards, who gave their best despite the cold and the intense days, throughout this great marathon that is the Vente d'Elevage. These record results are the result of a real team effort, both among our sales staff and in our offices.
