Behind The Scenes At The Arqana Yearling Sale | The Bloodstock Files

The Bloodstock Files goes to Deauville for the Arqana August Yearling Sale, the first of the European season — and hands the episode to Emma Berry and Bernard Condren in their day jobs as journalist and auctioneer. Bernard walks his lots in the morning, explaining what he looks for in a yearling, why the walk matters, and how twenty-six years of auctioneering started with bit-spotting at Goffs while he should have been at school. Then, wearing camera glasses on the rostrum, he sells a Justify colt for €1.25 million with Godolphin and Coolmore going toe to toe, and follows it with a Wootton Bassett colt at €800,000. Emma is out with the TDN team, and talks to Henri Bozo, director at Ecurie des Monceaux. Plus Pierre Boulard, Willie Mullins's man in France, on why they're now buying flat yearlings with enough stamina and scope to jump if the flat doesn't work out. #TheBloodstockFiles #Bloodstock #horseracing Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
