The prestigious Arqana December Vente d'Élevage will take place in Deauville. The final sale of the year and an unmissable event on the European breeding stock sales calendar will be held Dec. 9-12.
Once again, offspring of mares sold at previous editions of the sale have gone on to shine at the highest levels on the racetrack this year, such as Feed The Flame (Grand Prix de Paris, G1), Iresine (Prix Ganay, G1), Trueshan (Prix du Cadran, G1), Via Sistina (Pretty Polly Stakes, G1), India (Preis von Europa, G1), Sol Oriens (Satsuki Sho, G1), and Gold Trip (Turnbull Stakes, G1).
The 2023 edition of the December Vente d'Élevage will offer 1,000 lots made up of mares, fillies, and foals. The sale will begin at 10 a.m. Dec. 9-10, and at 11 a.m. Dec. 11-12. In total, the catalog will offer 283 fillies, 430 broodmares, as well as 266 foals.
The sale will notably hold the dispersal of the exceptional Gestüt Ammerland, which will offer 13 lots led by listed winner and group-placed Sea The Sky (Lot 171). The very well-bred sister to Sea The Moon hails from the close family of group 1 winners Schiaparelli , Samum, Salve Regina, Sortilege , and Seismos .
