Last week was on the minds of many fans of both sport and breeding, as the auction house Fences once again organized their auction in Bois-Le-Roi, France. On Sunday evening, 39 three-year-old horses went under the hammer during “The Service Auction".
The Pegase van't Ruytershof son, Roquetas van de Radstake, proved to be very sought after among the bidders, who unleashed a real bidding duel both physically and online or over the phone. The 3-year-old stallion also has Tangelo vd Zuuthoeve in his genes and comes from the same dam line as, among others, El Salvador, Tulum,... One by one Grand Prix horses!
None other than Cian O'Connor, the Irishman who keeps on securing the future for his Karlswood stables, counted down the most money on the table and acquired Roquetas for a whopping 330,000 euros.
