August Sale Turns Over €40 Million

Ecurie des Monceaux leading vendors for tenth year

Back to its original format, the third day of the 2021 Arqana August Yearling Sale hosted Part II of the catalogue.

Demand was strong as well as international, with purchases made by American, English, Irish, French, and Middle Eastern buyers etc.

At the end of the auction, 77% of the 167 lots sold changed hands for an average price of €75,523 (-13%), generating a turnover of €9,667,000 (-7%).

During the whole sale, 324 yearlings passed through the ring with a clearance rate of 76% for an average price of €162,638 (-13% compared to 2019).

The cumulative turnover reached €40,229,000 (-8%).

At the end of the sale, Eric Hoyeau, President of ARQANA and Freddy Powell, Executive Director, commented, “The sale remained very international today and the percentage of horses sold was solid, which made the average slip a little compared to 2019. Over the three days as a whole, the results were pleasing. The context was still uncertain when the catalogue was released and it is a relief to see that this edition is in line with the August Sales that we have held previously, just behind the exceptional year of 2019. This is only the third time the turnover has exceeded €40 million and the number of horses sold for €200,000 or more is the same as in 2018. We were fortunate to experience a sale in a near-normal atmosphere. We would like to thank our buyers once again who were active on site and remotely, as well as our vendors for having brought yearlings of this quality to the ring. After a year “off”, the v.2 makes its comeback tomorrow at Deauville. This sale has produced some very good horses, such as Coeursamba, Teppal and Olmedo, and we hope that it will continue on in the same vein following the success of the August Sale.”

At the close of the three days of sales, Ecurie des Monceaux, managed by Henri Bozo, once again took the title of leading consignor with 33 colts and fillies sold for a total of €9,062,000.

The runner-up spot went to Haras d’Etreham, that sold 19 yearlings including the top price at the sale for €5,085,000.

Haras des Capucines followed, with 19 lots sold for a total of €3,012,000.
