Great Arqana result - PEACE IN MOTION with top price

With the Breeding Stock Sale in Deauville the last auction of the year is in the books now, and for Ronald Rauscher Bloodstock it was a great success.

90% of the mares consigned by us found new owners via the sales ring and also the only foal in the lot, a very interesting colt by Soldier Hollow out of the dam line of the two G1 winners GUIGNOL and GUILIANI was met with lively interest. CEASARA, offered for Gestuet Haus Ittlingen, achieved a very good price. The full sister to G3 winner and multiple G1-placed CALYXA had pursued her active career mainly in Sweden; she was sold for €65,000.

The fresh G3 winner and runner-up in the German 1000 Guineas PEACE IN MOTION (93.5 kg), consigned by us for Dr. Christoph Berglar, even became one of the top sellers at the auction. The Hat Trick-daughter entered the ring in an impressive manner as Lot 163 and within minutes plunged the hall into a tension-filled silence. When the hammer fell at €860,000 for the French Bloodstock agent Bertrand Le Metayer, a collective sigh of relief could be heard! Peace In Motion will visit top-sire Dubawi.

We are now heading into a short winter break before picking up work again in February with the mixed auctions of the Arqana and at Goffs and Tattersalls.
