Top lot was lot 327, a Deep Impact colt who was sold for Y250,000,000 ($3,086,000). In fact 6 of the Top 10 foals sold were by Deep Impact. The second top lot was a filly by Deep Impact, a half sister to Japan Derby winner Deep Brilliante, who will contest the King George at Ascot later this month. Her buyer, Paul Fudge (an Australian), said he may consider sending her to race in Europe. Full results from both the yearling and foal sales can be found here
Deep Impact seems a very popular stallion. Still not too surprising sired by Sunday Silence out of a mare who has Northern Dancer on one side and Busted on the other.
The Sea the Stars website for the Arqana sales is now online. There are photographs and videos of each of the seven yearlings on offer at Deauville, which include a half-sister to Canford Cliffs, a half-brother to Naaqoos and a half-brother to Speciosa.
