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.”
