Thomas Huet will join Arqana's bloodstock team from February 17. Based at Saint-Cloud, he will be in charge of the prospection and nominations of horses-in-training for the sales, as well as the coordination and promotion of catalogues in that area. He will also be the point of contact for the Arqana Series.
With 25 years of experience in the industry, Huet was a professional jockey in France for numerous trainers, including François Doumen, Mikel Delzangles, Robert Collet, Jonathan Pease, Rupert Pritchard Gordon, Fabrice Chappet and Mathieu Boutin. He also worked in Australia, riding for Gai Waterhouse, Paul Perry and Peter Snowden.
Following his sporting career, Huet set up his own agency and worked as a jockey's agent. He has also assisted trainer Philippe Decouz with the preparation of his horses in training and with client relations.
Commenting on this new role, he said, “I'm delighted to be joining the Arqana bloodstock team permanently. I will regularly be at the races to provide assistance and answer any questions about the sales or the Arqana Series.”
Bloodstock Director Ludovic Cornuel added, “We're delighted to be welcoming Thomas to the bloodstock team after a year as a consultant with us. His experience is valuable, and he will specialise in horses-in-training. He will be based in Chantilly and attached to our offices in Saint-Cloud, which will allow him to attend race meetings in the Paris region particularly.”
