Group 1 Winner Sweet Lady To Sell At Arqana December

Group 1 winner Sweet Lady (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) will be offered during the Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale during Dec. 3-6. A winner of the G1 Prix Vermeille, the 4-year-old landed the G2 Prix Corrida, G3 Prix de Flore, and the Listed Prix La Camargo in the Gemini Stud silks for trainer Francis-Henri Graffard earlier in her career.

Graffard said, “It's been a pleasure to train this magnificent filly for the last three years. Very brave and with a great temperament, she achieved all her objectives this year by winning the best races reserved for fillies and mares in France, the Prix Corrida and the Prix Vermeille. We always love going to the races with her and I'm very lucky to train her.”

Added Gemini Stud representative Francis Teboul of the filly, who will go through the ring on Dec. 3, “Don't be fooled by her name Sweet Lady because she is a real warrior and the bravest horse we own.”

Out of the English and American stakes winner High Heel Sneakers (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who also placed in the G2 May Hill S. and G3 Prix Vanteaux, Sweet Lady is a half-sister to the stakes winner Tourjours l'Amour (GB) (Authorized {Ire}). She was bred by Stratford Place Stud and was a €100,000 Arqana August Sale graduate.

Arqana’s September Sale Ends With Steady Demand

The sales action in Deauville's ring ended on Friday, with the second and final session of Arqana's new September Yearling Sale. Demand for young stock at the sales has continued through the summer, and Friday's session closed with a 77% clearance rate for 103 sold from 133 offered. They grossed €1,797,000 and averaged €17,447. The median came in at €14,000.

After two days of selling, a colt by the former shuttle stallion and now permanently Swettenham Stud-based Toronado (Ire) made six figures at €120,000 on Thursday, and 11 lots changed hands for €50,000 or better throughout the two days. The total gross stands at €3,929,000 for 203 sold of 274 through the ring (74.1%). The average flirted with €20,000 at €19,236 and the median was €15,000.

Leading Friday's proceedings was a €74,000 filly by Goken (Fr) (lot 274). Named Cuncerta (Fr), the French-bred yearling was consigned by Haras de Colleville and was bought by SAS Le Marais. She will carry the colours of Bernard Giraudon. Her dam is a half-sister to the listed winner Impulsive Dancer (Ire) (Dragon Pulse {Ire}), while third dam Danelissima (Ire) (Danehill) won the G3 Noblesse S. and is a half to the dam of G1 Dewhurst S. hero Intense Focus (Giant's Causeway). The last-named's half-sister produced smart juvenile Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy), who won the G1 Moyglare Stud S. in 2018.

Lot 184, a daughter of promising first-season sire Sioux Nation, caught the eye of Nicolas de Watrigant of Mandore International Agency. He spent €65,000 for the Haras de l'Hotellerie-consigned bay. Out of an Areion (Ger) half-sister to GIII Florida Oaks heroine Outburst (GB) (Outstrip {GB}), the late-April foal is also related to German stakes winner and Group-3 placed Abraxa (Ger) (Is Tirol).

De Watrigant also went to €55,000 for a Haras des Capucines-consigned filly by Phoenix Of Spain (Ire), lot 294. Her dam, Goodthingstaketime (Ire) (Canford Cliffs {Ire}) placed four times at the group/graded level in both Ireland and the States, including runner-up finishes in both the G3 Curragh S. and GIII Florida Oaks.

Wootton Bassett (GB)'s lot 217 went to Carlos and Yann Lerner for €50,000 after being a €35,000 buyback as an Arqana December weanling. The colt is already a half-brother to three black-type horses including listed winners Bocaiuva (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) and Beauty Of Love (GB) (Elusive City), with the former also second in the G3 Prix de Flore. Their dam, the G3 Premio Chiusura-scoring Breath Of Love (Mutakddim) is herself out of dual Group 3 winner Breath Taking (Fr) (Nureyev). The last-named's descendants include several graded winners, while the 1976 G2 Marlboro Cup went to this filly's third dam Cap D'Antibes (Aus) (Better Boy {Ire}).

Arqana President Eric Hoyeau and Executive Director Freddy Powell said, “We still have some adjustments to make to the format of this young sale, which must find its place. We would like to thank all the vendors who put their trust in us. The percentage of horses sold is satisfactory and many French professionals, including many trainers, have been active, which is encouraging. Let's remember that all these yearlings are eligible for the Arqana Series, with the first races taking place next year. We will analyse all the segments of yearling sales at the end of the October sale, when we will have a more global overview.”

Sea The Stars’s Sea La Rosa Prevails In The Pomone

Minutes after capturing the G3 Ballyogan S. at Naas on Sunday, the 2022 success story that is the William Haggas stable continued apace at Deauville as Somerville Lodge enjoyed a pattern-race double courtesy of Sunderland Holding's Sea La Rosa (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G2 Darley Prix de Pomone. Saddled with a penalty for her success in Goodwood's G2 Qatar Lillie Langtry S. July 30, the Ecurie des Monceaux-bred 4-year-old was still hot property at 3-5 and set off in a close second behind compatriot Glenartney (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}) throughout the early stages. Having to work harder than those odds suggested to get to the front inside the final furlong, the homebred proved resolute for Tom Marquand to score by 3/4 of a length from Love Child (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who denied the long-time leader the runner-up spot by a short head.

Jean Lesbordes was on hand to represent Sunderland Holding and said, “It is a great moment for me, as I picked this filly here at the sales for Mrs Tsui, who is such a great lady. She trusts me to represent her in France and when this filly won today, it was a flashback to great memories going through my head, with Urban Sea and my son Clement, who left us so young. Sea The Stars was such a great horse and he is such a good sire. He is the real deal, he has it all. I am not a trainer anymore, William Haggas is a great professional and he will decide on the filly's future.”

Pedigree Notes:
Sea La Rosa, who was also runner-up in the G2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock July 2 having won the G3 Pinnacle S. over that course and distance May 28, was bred in France by Ecurie des Monceaux and is a full-sister to the recent G2 Great Voltigeur S. and G3 Bahrain Trophy winner Deauville Legend (Ire) and a half to the G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial runner-up Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). The listed-winning second dam Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}) is a full-sister to the

G2 Pretty Polly S. winner and stakes producer Hanami (GB) and a half to another listed scorer in Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination), who produced the dual G2 Prix de Royallieu heroine The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}). Soho Rose's yearling filly is by Golden Horn (GB).
