00:002022 is the year where the breeze up sale is back in Deauville, where it belongs, attracting

00:08substantial international interest.

00:10Bereni interest showed serious buying power, acquiring the top two lots, both to be trained

00:15in the United Kingdom.

00:17The sale stopper, a half-brother to group winner Lemista by Zoffany, was inspected by

00:21his future trainer.

00:23Roger Varian saw this horse this afternoon and really liked him.

00:31They just seemed to have been getting harder to buy all day.

00:34He's a big, strong horse with a big shoulder on him.

00:39Went very well.

00:40I think he did the ninth fastest time, so hopefully he can do well.

00:45The second highest-priced lot, a son of Siyouni, out of a full sister to Megas Engel and Marcas,

00:51will head to Charlie Hill's yard.

00:53He was a horse that caught our eye at the beginning.

00:55I wasn't expecting to have to pay that sort of money for him, but it's been a tough day

01:00to buy what one wants to buy.

01:02He will go to Charlie Hill's and for a friend of Fawzi Nasser's, and let's hope he is a

01:09good one.

01:10Lot 70, a son of More Than Ready, brought 450,000 euros.

01:15He looks the type that he could race on the turf or on the dirt.

01:18He's probably more of a dirt-type horse, so he may end up in the Middle East.

01:21Gene Reeves made the most of his first visit to Deauville.

01:24He goes home with lot 132, a daughter of Craxman, out of a sibling to multiple group winners.

01:30We really wanted to get a nice filly to send back to the States, and she fit a lot of the

01:37criteria.

01:39We think she'll be very successful.

01:41The breeding is there for a future broodmare, and Christophe Clement is as good a trainer

01:47as you can find.

01:48He does a great job for us, and Stephen has done a wonderful job selecting horses.

01:54We've been very successful.

01:55We hope that this filly will make us look pretty smart.

01:58Blanford Bloodstock's Richard Brown was very active securing seven lots, including a daughter

02:03of Church Camp, by Twirling Candy.

02:06She did a very good breeze, and Malcolm Bastard, who sold her, recommended her highly, and

02:11he does a superb job.

02:14She just exuded class out here.

02:18We liked her a lot, but I fell in love with her walking around out here.

02:20She just looked like a very classy filly.

02:22In a solid market, the Brizip median price reached the 100,000 euro mark for the second

02:27time since its creation.
