Dollars continued to be invested in Deauville Dec. 8 as leading U.S. owner Mike Repole scooped the top lot on day two of the Arqana Breeding Stock Sale.
The transaction follows the running theme witnessed during Saturday’s headline session, when four of the top five lots were bought to continue their racing careers on the other side of the Atlantic. That group was headed by Sparkling Plenty , who brought a record-breaking price of €5,000,000 ($5,281,141) from Coolmore’s MV Magnier.
Repole’s agent Alex Solis ll was not forced to anything like that level to secure the winning 2-year-old Hoshiana, who topped the charts at €220,000 (US$231,000, €1=US$1.05). The daughter of Dabirsim , a close relation to Albany Stakes winner Different League, won one of her seven starts for trainer Nicolas Perret and was last seen finishing a three-lengths fourth in the listed Prix Herod.
