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.

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.”

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.

Auctav sought to create an opportunity to the advantage of the bloodstock industry in France and beyond from the chaos wrought on the bloodstock industry by the Covid-imposed travel restrictions. It founded an online sales platform across the range of racing disciplines, featuring not just Flat and National Hunt sales, but also those for trotters and Arabian horses. As the established sales houses explored this type of venture and added online platforms to their own major sales bases in Newmarket, Doncaster, Kildare, and Deauville, Auctav has grown in the opposite direction and now has a physical presence of its own, at the historic Haras de Bois Roussel in Bursard, between Deauville and Le Mans. It is here on Saturday that Auctav will host its first 'in person' Flat sale.

“We had two sales here for trotters in August and one for jumpers last month,” says Auctav's director general Arnaud Angeliaume of the company's progression from holding 'Flash sales' online on an almost monthly basis to hosting the sales crowd at a beautiful stud farm in the Alencon region. Founded in 1902, Haras de Bois Roussel has previously been owned by the Wildenstein family and Leon Volterra, among others, and is now home to the Auctav offices and sales complex.

“Auctav does things step by step,” he continues. “We started with trotters and National Hunt horses because they are easier markets to start with, but now we are better known and are confident about how we do things it is the time to have Flat sales. That is a very competitive market but what has helped us is some publicity from our Flash sales through Go Athletico (Fr). He has run really well since we sold him. He was a Listed winner when we sold him and since then he has won a Listed and a Group 3. 

“We have had a huge selection of horses offered to us. We had more than 200 horses proposed to us and we have just kept it to 80 to 90.”

Saturday's sale covers plenty of bases within the Flat sphere. It contains 52 yearlings, a pair of two-year-old fillies by Cloth Of Stars (Ire), and 14 broodmares, including Perfect Approach (Fr), a daughter of New Approach (Ire) and the G2 Prix Kergorlay winner Ponte Tresa (Fr) (Sicyos {Fr}), who is offered as lot 61 by Haras de Colleville in foal to their resident stallion Goken (Fr).

Also catalogued, as lot 76 from Jedburgh Stud, is Piscine De Ruinart (Fr) (Zoffany {Ire}), a three-year-old half-sister to the Group 3 winner and Grade I-placed Indian Blessing (GB) (Sepoy {Aus}) as well as to the black-type earners Montalbano (GB) (Monsieur Bond {Ire}) and Glade (GB) (Bertolini). And, perhaps surprisingly for the time of year, 11 foals complete the catalogue, including six by Muhaarar (GB), and colts by Galiway (GB) and Kendargent (Fr),

“Alain Chopard, who stood Muhaarar at Haras des Faunes for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, was happy to work with us on this project and to select several foals to sell by the stallion, who has had very good results this year,” explains Angeliaume. “It made economic sense to strike while the iron was hot. It is a little earlier in the year to sell mares and foals than is traditional, but for breeders it is helpful to have cashflow.”

There are 120 permanent stables at Haras du Bois Roussel with the capacity to house more horses in temporary stabling. However, Angeliaume acknowledges that the timing of the sale, coming as the two-week Tattersalls October Sale closes and three days before the start of the Arqana October Sale, is part of the reason that Auctav restricted its catalogue for the forthcoming sale.

“There are so many sales through this period, so if you want the buyers to really look at your catalogue it has to be selective,” he says. “We want buyers to know that every page has been selected for a reason – because it is a black-type family, or because there have been good results in the family.

“This Saturday is a time when some bloodstock agents come back from Tattersalls and start to look at Arqana, so there is the option to come to Bois Roussel, but what is our strength is that even if they can't come to the sale there is still the possibility to bid online.”

He adds, “That's how we started and we worked a lot at first on the online side. We work a lot on the photos and we prefer to go to see the horses at the stud. We have a huge repository and that is very important because we want no bad surprises for the purchaser.”

Auctav's 'Vente de Plat' takes place on Saturday, October 14, from 12.30pm local time.

Highlighting the broodmares is lot 84, Lovera (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}), who is in foal to Hello Youmzain (Fr); Sommerfee (Fr) (Casamento {Ire}) (lot 67), who is responsible for four black-type performers carrying to Recoletos (Fr); and Piscine De Ruinart (GB) (Zoffany {Ire}) (lot 76), who is the sister of German Group winner and American Grade I-placed Indian Blessing (GB) (Sepoy {Aus}).  Among the stallions represented, Muhaarar (GB) will have several youngsters on offer, including lot 74, a filly out of Joubachope (Fr) (Captain Chop {Fr}), whose dam is a sister to Chopastair (Fr) (Astair {Fr}); lot 79, a filly out of Killi (Ire), who is out of a Group 2 winner and is a sister to three black-type horses; and lot 83, a filly out of Mercifilly (Fr) (Whipper), a sister to four black-type horses.

“Allied Powers is an athletic horse with speed, and he is a good jumper,” trainer Davide Satalia said. “I believe he has shown that his physical abilities can lead him to win prestigious races. He is a very calm horse, and he prepared for competition over only two months before his debut. Being an entire colt doesn't bother him. He is progressing well. He showed great composure at Clairefontaine. We had initially planned to run him in the Prix Aguado at Auteuil, but he had a slight cough, and we didn't want to take any risks. We redirected him to Clairefontaine, but he has the profile for Auteuil.”

Stephen Thorne, Shamrock Thoroubreds manager, said of the former AB Racing runner, “Go Athletico looks like a very nice and strong prospect. He is a solid horse to compete in Ireland in sprint races. He will go in training with Ado McGuiness. We are delighted.”

“We quickly found our niche in the NH discipline and quickly created a network in the Arabian thoroughbred market,” explained Arnaud Angéliaume, CEO of Auctav. “We have worked hard in recent months to make the Auctav brand better known among actors of Flat racing, trainers, owners, bloodstock agents, and this is a mission that will continue throughout the year. We thank the owners of Go Athletico for trusting us with the sale of this performer and Stephen Thorne as well as the other bidders for showing their interest in this very beautiful lot.”
