Tuesday 20th Deauville Monday’s trend was confirmed on the second day of the three day yearling sales with an average of 27,000 euros and an increased percentage of sales to over 73%. For the record, the format of the sale has changed since last year but 71.2% of lots were sold at an average price of 23,412 euros.
The Irish agent Willie Browne went to 170,000 euros under the banner of BBA Ireland to beat Anthony Stroud for Lot 209, a son of Shamardal presented by Haras de Grandcamp for Christian de Asis-Trem and Didier Blot. "They will go for the breeze up sales as 2 year olds,” said the buyer. “It was a bit expensive for a poor seller of breeze-ups like me but Shamardals have proved to be good and this one is a nice model. It is a good family (the colt is a half brother to Obrigado and Coupe de Champe), which regularly produces good horses." Willy Browne sold the top price of the last breeze-ups in Paris, Dubawi Junior for 280,000 euros. He had previously been bought for 26,000 Guineas at Newmarket under the banner of Mocklershill Stud.

The breeze-ups are also on the cards for Lot 213, a son of Shirocco bought for 85.000 euro by Michael Donohoe for BBA Ireland: "I am buying for one of our clients, and the colt will be sold as a 2 year old, maybe in Saint Cloud. He is very well proportioned. His father Shirocco is very promising."
Sylvain Vidal acquired the top lot of the morning, Lot 188, a filly by Medicean from the family of German champion Anna Paola. It is the first produce of Anna Mona (Monsun), who was Group placed. "I like the first products of young mares in general, said the buyer. “She will be bred to Le Havre in the future, like other fillies that I purchased this season for Cauvinière. With Monsun as her dam’s sire, she will give products inbred to Konigsstuhl since he is already in the pedigree of Le Havre. Paul Nataf was underbidder on this lot. The bloodstock agent was acting on behalf of Libyan owner Falah El Mabrouk. He took his revenge in the afternoon with Lot 237, a daughter of Green Tune bought for 75,000 euros for the same client: "Both fillies were stabled next to each other and this one was my selection of the entire catalogue. I went "easy" on the other lot. I really wanted this filly because she really pleased me." Both fillies were presented by Haras de Saint Pair.
Lot 221, bought for 60,000 euros by Roger O'Callaghan (Tally-Ho Stud), will be back in France next spring to be presented at the breeze ups. The confidence that Irish pinhookers have in the French market is hopefully a very good sign. Who would have bet on them to purchase in France, a country race relatively unscathed by the negative economic environment?
Freddy Head choose from the family consignment, Quesnay's Lot 242, the trainer bought it for 55,000 euros, and for good reason: "I train her 2 year old brother by Footstepsinthesand and he goes well,” he revealed. “They are the first Cacique’s, a very well-bred stallion, and I found the filly to be superb."
Anthony Stroud left the ring in Deauville with Lot 258 for 130,000 euros, a son of Galileo, the first product of a winning own sister to a Listed winner. The British broker couldn’t name an owner or even a country for the colt sold by Mezeray. "A very nice colt with a high standard. The market is very good and it's never easy to buy nice foals." Shortly after, Anthony Stroud paid 85,000 euros for a daughter of Hurricane Run presented by Monceaux. "This is a very athletic filly and particularly well made. Her father is a really good stallion. I still do not have specific plans for her."
Dirk Eisele, of BBA Germany, paid 58,000 euros for Lot 286 after having been beaten on several occasions: "I had to raise my price limit," said the German agent. “On Monday, I could not compete. I thought I could get a nice filly for 40,000 euros but I realized that the market was strong and I had to readjust. She should go in to training in Germany maybe with Peter Schiergen." This last lot was notably purchased for his client Mohammed Jaber, son of the owner of Youmzain.
Lot 299 was much awaited, since the daughter of Cape Cross presented by Reboursière depends comes from a good maternal family. The English trainer Tom Dascombe had the last word at 64,000 euros after a drawn out battle: "She has a good father, her mother has already produced winners and she passed the veterinary examination without a problem. She is qualified for the Italian premium and perhaps eventually she will run over there. In the meantime, she will join my new base in Cheshire."
The last "big prize" of the day, Lot 310, a filly by Footstepsinthesand, from the family of Anabaa's Creation and Leo's Starlet, went for 70,000 euros to David Powell, on behalf of Maggy Bryant. "She's a nice filly and I think that at 70,000 euros she is a good purchase," he said.
