Auctav February Sale Sees Son Of Camelot Lead The Way

Knowle Racing Stable shelled out €40,000 for the winning Be Sure (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) (lot 5B), the priciest lot at the Auctav February Sale. The three-time winning gelding will start in a 3600-metre hurdle race at Auteuil on Sunday, and will then be sent to trainer Deborah Cole in England.

Miami Du Berlais (Fr) (Martaline {GB}) (lot 2) changed hands for €36,000 on the winning bid of BR Consulting on behalf of Haras de Magouet.

“It's my birthday gift,” explains Patrick Lemarie of lot 2. “I trusted the consigner. I wanted to rejuvenate and improve my broodmares after retiring several of them. Jean-Marc Lucas spoke highly of her. I haven't made the choice of a stallion yet: we will discuss it with Pascal Noue.”

Overall, nine horses found new homes for a gross of €167,000.

Vincent Le Roy has joined the French sales company Auctav as a new member on its team of bloodstock agents.

Born in Brittany, Le Roy previously worked at Haras de Gouffern, where, under the guidance of Jean-Pierre de Gasté, he trained Arabians for Sheikh Sultan of Abu Dhabi and Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai. He later spent five years training in the Middle East.

Switching his focus to National Hunt, Le Roy has had stints working with Guillaume Macaire, Willie Mullins, Paul Nicholls, David Pipe and the Reveley family before settling back in Brittany to work as a pre-trainer.

At Auctav, he will work alongside Toby Jones, Jacob Pritchard Webb, and Anthony Grueau for trotting.

“At Auctav, I find a team of enthusiasts where I can leverage my experiences and continue to grow in my expertise. I have a strong network and solid experience with Arabians as well as National Hunt,” said Le Roy.

“At Auctav, I see myself as the one who must provide solutions and facilitate connections between producers and breeders on one side and future investors, developers, and buyers on the other.”

Arnaud Angéliaume, CEO of Auctav, added, “I am delighted with Vincent Le Roy's arrival in the Auctav team. We have common values. His diverse experiences make him a versatile polyglot with cross-cutting expertise in all horse races. I am confident that our current and future clients will also be won over by Vincent's enthusiasm and professionalism.”

Auctav Flash Sale To Feature Group 1-Placed Mare

Group 1-placed mare Diva Donna (Fr) (Cima De Triomphe {Ire}), who holds an entry in the G1 Prix Royal-Oak on Oct. 29, will be offered during an Auctav Flash Sale on Wednesday, Oct. 25. The sale will last from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the Auctav website.

Offered by trainer and co-owner Julien Carayon, the mare was second in the G3 Prix Belle de Nuit last October, and was placed in a Chantilly listed in April. She reached a new career high with a runner-up performance in the G1 Prix de Royallieu on Sept. 30.

Carayon said, “Her second place in the Prix de Royallieu was the confirmation of everything she has shown since joining the stable. She is an easy mare who is only now reaching her full maturity, which is often the case for stayers. She is very tall, measuring 16.2hh. Diva Donna is incredible, and she has even done a bit of jumping. She has a beautiful way of moving.”

Out of the Dunkerque (Fr) mare Grande Synthe (Fr), the mare was bred by GFA Du Pont Rouge.
