THE Arqana Autumn Sale kicked off on a high on Monday as two wildcards offered to dissolve a partnership between Simon Munir, Isaac Souede and Haras de Saint Voir fetched €710,000 and €520,000.

It may have been fair to assume that Highflyer Bloodstock’s Anthony Bromley was acting on behalf of his ‘Double Green’ clients when securing the top lots, but he was joined in Deauville by Dan Skelton, who will train the pair on behalf of Lindy and Mark O’Hare.
