Arqana Online will hold its final sale of the year Thursday, Dec. 15 from 3 to 5pm. The nine-strong catalogue is now available at www.arqanaonline.com.
The 3-year-old colt Mathletic (Fr) (Kingman {GB}) will be offered as lot 1. Trained by Andre Fabre, the gray colt was perfect in a pair of starts last term and has finished runner-up in his last three outings, the first of which came when going down by a neck in the G3 Prix de Fountainebleau at ParisLongchamp this past April and the latest a narrow defeat at the hands of the classy Skalleti (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}). A son of Manherbe, Mathletic is a half-brother to MSW & MGSP 'TDN Rising Star' Gidu (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) and Canadian Grade III winner Marbre Rose (Ire) (Smart Strike). Manherbe is a half-sister to Grade I winner Zoftig (Cozzene), dam of fellow top-level scorers Zo Impressive (Hard Spun) and Zaftig (Gone West).
Ondulee (Ire) (Adlerflug {Ger}) is catalogued as lot 2 from Wertheimer et Frere. Trained by Christophe Ferland, the 95-rated 3-year-old filly won on seasonal debut back in February and was placed in the Listed Prix Rose de Mai and Prix de Liancourt. This is the family of Akeed Mofeed (GB), Hernando (Fr) and Johann Quatz (Fr).
A 2 per cent stake in Zarak (Fr) will be on offer as lot 3. The leading second-crop sire by winners in 2022, Zarak is the sire of 15 black-type winners, including the Group 1-placed filly Times Square (Fr). The share entitles you to one nomination per year, plus an additional bonus nomination any odd-numbered year (2 nominations in 2023). Zarak will stand for €60,000 in 2023.
