In the extended family are Group 1 winners Arcangues (Sagace {Fr}), Agathe (Manila), Aquarelliste (Fr) (Danehill), and Artiste Royal (Ire) (Danehill).

A winner of the G3 Prix Six Perfections and third in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac as a juvenile, Oscula added to her black-type laurels this term with victories in the G3 Oak Tree S. and G3 Prix de Lieurey for trainer George Boughey and Nick Bradley Racing. She is rated 107, and hails from the family of G2 Mill Reef S. winner Galeota (Ire) (Mujadil), and fellow group winners Brown Sugar (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}), Burnt Sugar (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Wings Of War (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), and Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}).

Rated 100, she will be offered by Ronald Rauscher and is out of the group-placed Waldjagd (GB) (Observatory). Her second dam is group winner Wurftaube (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger), and she is kin to top-level winners Masked Marvel (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}), Walgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and Wake Forest (Ger) (Sir Percy {GB}).

Positive Stats At Arqana’s Yearling Sales

The majority of Arqana's yearlings have now gone through the ring this season, with only the November Yearling Sale's 155 lots left to sell, and indices are positive across a range of categories for the Deauville-based sales company when taken as a whole.

For the first time, more than 1,200 horses were offered, with more than 1,000 of them finding new homes for a clearances rate of 82.7%. The turnover (€80,499,000) and average (€75,871) both increased, while the median settled at €31,000. In addition, 227 (+17%) horses sold for €100,000 or more, up from 193 in 2021. Four horses brought €1 million or more this year, double last year's two. One marked change was the creation of the September Yearling Sale, which replaced and extended the previous v.2 Yearling Sale, with 275 horses catalogued, an additional 100 lots from 2021.

Eric Hoyeau, President of Arqana and Freddy Powell, Executive Director, said of the combined yearling results through Friday, “Each year we reflect on the format of our sales in order to adapt to the offer. Our aim is to ensure that every yearling achieves its best possible value. In particular, we have had to change the v.2 Yearling Sale to accommodate a greater number of horses in September.

“Despite the 150 extra horses sold at the three sales, the market absorption rate remained very satisfactory, testifying to the attractiveness of French breeding at all levels and the quality of the work of our vendors. The 227 yearlings sold for €100,000 or more are further proof of this. We hope that the November Yearling Sale will continue in this vein, as will the Autumn Sale, which this time will welcome the cream of National Hunt yearlings to Deauville.”

Dual Group Malavath To Sell At Arqana

Group 2 winner and Breeders' Cup runner-up Malavath (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) has been confirmed for the Vente d'Elevage, an auction that will take place from December 3-6 at Arqana in Deauville.

The Tally-Ho Stud-bred filly, who chased home Pizza Bianca (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) in the G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf last year, was a £29,000 purchase by Star Bloodstock at the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale in 2020.

She was then sold to a partnership that includes David Redvers, Everest Racing and Barbara Keller for £120,000 at Arqana's Breeze-Up Sale in Doncaster the following spring.

Trained by Francis Graffard, Malavath was placed on her first two starts at two before breaking her maiden at Chantilly that September.

She then went on to win the G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte before running that creditable second at the Breeders' Cup.

A Group 3 winner earlier this season, Malavath was last seen finishing second in the G1 Prix de la Foret.

The page could get even better as the talented filly is set to run in the G1 Breeders' Mile in Keeneland on November 5.
