Arqana today announced the launch of SirePower+, a tailored financing programme which offers breeders the possibility of having 50% of their 2025 covering fee financed by the Deauville auction house up until the offspring is sold.
The initiative is aimed at French breeders with or without a stud, as well as foreign breeders who have mares in France or are planning to have mares in France, who wish to cover their top Flat mares. The programme will concentrate on the top international stallions that are in demand because of their progeny's results both on the racecourse and at the yearling sales.
The young stock resulting from this programme will then be offered as foals or yearlings at Arqana.
“With this initiative, we want to enable breeders to make their mares' coverings more attractive,” read a statement attributed to Olivier Delloye, president of Arqana, and Freddy Powell, managing director.
“By concentrating on good mares and the elite stallions in the European stallion pool, this program is designed to help raise the level of our yearlings on offer and continue to broaden our customer base.
“We hope to create a virtuous dynamic, with positive impacts at various levels for future generations and sales.”
