DREAM COLT TOPS FINAL DAY AT ARQANA
Article taken from the EBN
A May-foaled colt by one of Europe’s most desirable stallions became the final sales-topping yearling of the hectic European season when a son of OASIS DREAM (Lot 908) was knocked down to Yan Houyvet of Agence Equus for €48,000.
“He was a really nice colt by a wonderful stallion with one of the strongest pedigrees in the catalogue,” said Houyvet, buying on behalf of owner André Rebeuh.
Consigned by Haras de la Perelle, the Irish-bred colt is out of Jade Jewel (Mr Prospector), a full-sister to Gr.1 winner and sire Jade Hunter and the dam of Listed winners Green Light and Jade Quest.
Rebeuh confirmed that the colt would go into training with Eric Libaud, whose greatest success as a trainer has been with a graduate of the same sale, the triple Gr.1 winner Vision d’Etat.
