Eight stallion shares and five breeding rights were offered at the Arqana Online Sale Tuesday, and leading the fray was a share in the Aga Khan stallion Zarak (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), which realized top price of €460,000. Secured by Marius Cypres, the share was one of two purchased by the Bridge Consignment, who also went to €56,000 for a share in the Haras d'Etreham sire Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).
“We're very happy,” said Cyprès. “To be able to invest in a share in Zarak is a unique opportunity. He's a stallion that I like a lot. He is magnificent, a son of Dubawi and his dam was a champion too. I think he is one of the young stallions in Europe that has the biggest future ahead of him.”
Also active during the session, Trotting Bloodstock's Florent Fonteyne purchased a share in Goken (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}) for €89,000 and a breeding right in Goliath Du Berlais (Fr) (Saint des Saints {Fr}) for €38,000.
A total of 12 of 13 lots were sold during the sale, amassing €867,000 in gross revenue.
