Offered as lot 1bis by Ecurie Augustin de Boisbrunet, the bay won at Nancy and is going to trainer Venetia Williams.

“This last sale of the year almost felt like our very first sale,” said Auctav Managing Director Arnaud Angeliaume. “We are delighted with the great sale of Djelo. We could see that the Auctav concept had really been successful because of its flexibility between monthly sales, wild cards and flash sales. We had a lot of customers connected during this session and a lot of
bidding that went into extra time, especially for Djelo's wild card which reached €140,000.
“The Auctav app, launched this week, had its first test. It worked well in real time and we are really very happy with this innovation which will further facilitate the customer experience.”
