Fifty percent of Saturday's G1 Qipco Champion S. favourite Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) has been sold to the colt's breeder, Haras d'Etreham, in partnership with SF Bloodstock, with the 3-year-old set to stay in training with Jean-Claude Rouget next year.
Haras d'Etreham bred Almanzor and sold him for €100,000 at the 2014 Arqana August yearling sale to Rouget. Campaigned in partnership by Gerard Augustin-Normand and Ecurie Antonio Caro, Almanzor has won his last four starts, including the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and G1 Qipco Irish Champion S. over subsequent G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Found (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Almanzor's future home for his stud career will be decided at later time.
