TOP lot of the week at the 2019 Arqana October Yearling Sale came at the opening session when a well-related son of Sea The Stars from Ecurie des Monceaux sold for €400,000 after a bidding duel between Oceanic Bloodstock’s Michel Zerolo and David Redvers.

The latter had the final say for the colt who is the second foal out of a half-sister to Arc winner Danedream. Redvers said, “We bought his half-sister by Australia in August last year, and she [Heart Reef] has since won on her debut at Haydock really well. He doesn’t have the same physique, but he walks very well.”
