The Haras de Bouquetot-Arqana October Yearling Sale Criterium has been renamed the Haras de Bouquetot-Arqana Criterium, the sales company announced. Worth at least €200,000, the race, which was inaugurated in 2016, is now open to all 2-year-olds that were offered at the 2020 Arqana yealing sales-the Select Sale, October Yearling Sale, and Autumn Sale-Flat Yearlings. Open to 2-year-old colts, fillies and geldings, the race will be conducted over a mile at ParisLongchamp on Oct. 2, the day before the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
To register, owners must pay €650 prior to June 7, 2021, with entries for the race being made automatically by France Galop in September. It costs an additional €500 if a horse is declared to run. Prize money will be paid out to eighth place, with the purse of €200,000 being made up of a minimum sponsorship amount of €100,000 from Arqana to which the registrations are added. If the total sum of registrations exceeds €100,000, the overall prize money will be automatically increased. If not, Arqana will increase its sponsorship amount. In addition, Haras du Bouquetot will offer a covering by one of its stallions to the breeders of the first three past the post. For more information, please click here.
