00:00Écure des Monceaux is the perennial leading consigner at the August Arcana Yearling Sale.
00:05In advance of this year's sale, we talked to the owner, Henri Bozeau, about his draft
00:10this year and a very important update they received this past weekend when last year's
00:15sale topper, Diamond Necklace, won on her debut to be named a TDN Rising Star.
00:20Today was very rewarding for everyone, for the whole team, because Prudenzia, two years
00:28old filly, won nicely and debuted in Ireland, which was a great result for us because that's
00:35really our family that we developed with Lady O'Reilly.
00:39So Diamond Necklace is a two years old filly out of Prudenzia, so she's a half-sister to
00:45the yearling we're selling on Monday, who herself is by Night of Thunder, and she's also closely
00:52related to two nice fillies we're selling.
00:55She's in the same time, from this Prudenzia family, you're expecting a certain type of
01:02fillies, which is a classy filly, not precocious, but classy with a good step.
01:10I think that's what our Night of Thunder filly is also.
01:14Well I think Night of Thunder is a great stallion to use to complement those classic type families
01:22with a bit more power and maybe a bit more speed, staying naturally classic but adding
01:29a bit of power.
01:31I think that's really what he does best to me and we've been quite fortunate with him.
01:37Well as I say, really what I like about them is the scope, the class and the action is really
01:46quite typical of the family with a good hind leg, which Night of Thunder has helped to produce.
01:54M'Angustine has always been a very athletic filly, we chose Frankel for M'Angustine because
02:01obviously she was a special filly and like many other people I think Frankel met very well
02:09with those fillies who have shown speed and we wanted to give her every chance to become
02:16a good producer and we are very happy with the results.
02:21He's got a lot of power, he's average size, he's got a lot of power, he's got a lot of self-confidence
02:29and he's very lively so I think it's a good mix between the two horses.
02:34Oerin has been an amazing producer so far, the mare is a good looking mare.
02:40He has produced I think a very strong, nice strong colt by Siuni that you will see next week.
02:47The colt is from that good proven cross between Siuni and Galileo.
02:52I think he's a well developed horse with a lot of power, a very good mantle.
02:57I'm very confident with him.
02:59The market is good, I know everything will not be perfect but I think the general atmosphere is good.
03:06We're expecting people to come and buy from Arcana because the results of the Arcana sales.
03:13I think America is different from France or from Europe but it's just a good sign, a good positive sign
03:20and not only the American sales but the general atmosphere of the last year is that there is a real demand for good horses
03:30from more and more people all over the world and we should be reasonably confident I think.
