The Oct. 27 G3 Herbst-Stutenpreis will now be sponsored by Arqana, the sales company announced on Friday.
The winner of the 2200-metre race for fillies and mares ages three and above will receive a free entry into the Arqana Vente d'Elevage that takes place on Dec. 7-10. Arqana will also partner the owner and breeder festival to be held at Hannover Racecourse in Germany on “Race Day of the Studs”.
Arqana's bloodstock director Ludovic Cornuel said, “We are delighted to be sponsoring the Herbst-Stutenpreis and to be associated with the breeding symposium being held that same weekend in Hannover. This race meeting is an important time of the year for German breeders and owners, and we are delighted to be able to be part of it. Every year, high-quality horses from Germany are entrusted to us in the sales ring and we welcome many German buyers to Deauville. We are therefore delighted to support the German breeding industry, which produces top-class horses year after year that go on to excel on the international stage.”
Gregor Baum, president of the German Owners and Breeders association and president of Hannover Racecourse added, “We are pleased and grateful, that Arqana supports the owner and breeder festival as one of the main sponsors. This shows great appreciation from one of Europe's most important auction companies for the German racing and thoroughbred breeding.”
