The Winter Breeding Sale catalogues, featuring lots from all disciplines, was unveiled by Auctav on Wednesday. Held on Thursday, Dec. 1, beginning at 11 a.m., the Auctav Winter Breeding Stock Sale of Stallion Shares features stallion shares and breeding rights of trotters, National Hunt and Flat stallions. Lot 4 is a half-share in three-time Group 1 winner Persian King (Ire), while there is also a breeding right in G1 Irish Derby hero Latrobe (Ire) as lot 5.
Later on Dec. 1 beginning at 4 p.m., there will also be the Auctav Winter Breeding Stock Sale, featuring fillies and mares. Some of the stallions represented by in foal mares include Zelzal (Fr) and Wooded (Ire).
Arnaud Angeliaume, Auctav General Manager, said, “It is a great satisfaction to have gathered all those lots. Having an “open” sale was essential to us to avoid overloading an already dense calendar. It is a date that we want to keep for the long term. Auctav and online sales have significant advantages for this type of sale because the broodmares avoid travel and all the health risks that go with it. We care about the health and well-being of those who are the industry's future.”
