Arqana has unveiled the August Sale catalog, a must in the yearling sales calendar, which will take place from Aug. 13-15 in Deauville, France. Synonymous with excellence in the ring and on the racetrack, as shown by the exploits of Mangoustine, Rougir, Sealiway, Noble Truth, Meditate, and Skalleti to name just a few—the 2022 edition will see 313 yearlings go through the ring with exceptional pedigrees and conformation.
This year, all three days will offer the same quality of yearlings instead of being held in two parts as in previous years.
Deauville-La Touques Racecourse will hold the prestigious Prix Jacques Le Marois (G1) Sunday, Aug. 14, an unmissable event for European milers, followed by the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano (G2) Monday, Aug. 15. These are among eight stakes races taking place over the weekend.
The sales times are as follows:
- Saturday, Aug. 13: 2:00 p.m. - Lots 1 to 145
- Sunday, Aug. 14: 5:30 p.m. - Lots 146 to 230
- Monday, Aug. 15: 5:30 p.m. - Lot 231 to 313
