SHALAA FILLY TOPS ARQANA MONDAY GOING SOLO WITH A bay daughter of Haras de Bouquetot=s popular MG1SW ARCADIA ELEVAGE Shalaa (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) led the way during Monday=s penultimate session of the Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale, as trade stayed relatively steady compared to last year=s edition. Sold as lot 787 from Haras de Castillon, the Castillon Bloodstock and Tina Rau Bloodstock-bred February foal was knocked down to Nicolas Lefevre of Equos Racing International and Broadhurst Agency=s Laurent Benoit for €87,000. AI have bought her in association with Laurent Benoit for a group of clients, with a view to offer her at the yearling sales,@ said Lefevre. AShe is a half-sister to a black-type winner from an interesting Quesnay family and I like Anabaa as a broodmare sire. Shalaa=s production seems very promising, so we have a lot to look forward to.@ Cont. p2 Antoine Bellanger chats with Alayna Cullen about his new venture, Arcadia Elevage. Click above to view the interview. | Sue Finley IN TDN AMERICA TODAY By Alayna Cullen KENTUCKY COMMISSION VOTES FOR LASIX A certain amount of admiration is due those who start their own enterprises, especially in an industry that relies on a PHASE-OUT four-legged speed machine to keep the wheels turning. There The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission took another step Monday towards the partial ban of race-day Lasix starting in has been an influx of new operations in the last year across 2020. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. Europe and notable among them is Arcadia Elevage, owned and operated by Antoine Bellanger, former yearling manager at Ecurie des Monceaux who have been leading vendor at the Arqana August Yearling Sale since 2012. "I saw a position at Ecurie des Monceaux, which was very young at that time, not very small but smaller than now,@ recounts Bellanger. AAnd I felt something about the farm, I had a good feeling about the farm. So I took the position. At first we had only maybe four or five yearlings and I used to do everything myself. After 11 years, we sold 60 or 70 yearlings with a lot of staff. So I saw that progression year after year.@ Surely watching an operation like Monceaux grow will stand Bellanger in good stead, but the international experience gained by the 33 year-old Loire Valley native will also have a knock-on effect to his own operation's success. Said Bellanger, "I grew up in the breeding industry; my parents have a small farm in the Loire Valley and I decided to make my career in the breeding industry. I worked six months in France for a small National Hunt breeder called Patrick Boiteau. Then I decided to travel, so I went to Derrinstown Stud in Ireland for a year and a half.@ Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE • PAGE 2 OF 8 • THETDN.COM TUESDAY • 10 DECEMBER 2019
started well. The goal is to keep going on the way we started, keep it simple, to focus on horses and make sure all the clients are happy." Arcadia Elevage's inaugural sale will hopefully be an early Christmas present to Bellanger and his partner Aline Giraud of Aga Khan Studs, but whatever the outcome, momentum is building for the fledgling operation that has its sights set on becoming a leading force among French farms.

AOn Saturday, David Redvers Wootton Bassett (GB). Cont. p3 asked me to buy a Dark Angel (Ire) colt who I really liked and I bought another foal as well for clients. It's exciting and I feel like it's been a good booster. I want to do a good job for these people to give back the trust that they have given me." Of the stallion prospect that will be Arcadia Elevage's first horse to sell at Arqana, Bellanger thinks he could be the real deal. "Khan is a very interesting prospect,@ Bellanger said. AHe is a Group 1 winner first of all and he's a very, very nice individual. He is also a brother to Kamsin (Ger) who is a proven National Hunt sire in France. I think he ticks all the boxes for breeders." There is an honesty and kindness to Bellanger that instantly puts you in his corner. You can tell that the decision to set up Arcadia Elevage has not been taken lightly and that there is definitely a desire to build a business that looks after its clients and horses to the best of its ability. "I'm feeling good and I don't regret doing it. The farm used to be a cattle farm so we did a lot of work on it.

From his first Group 1 victory, where he produced a LONHRO'S DOMINANCE scintillating late burst to win the 2001 Caulfield Guineas, to his last when he dominated a vintage edition of the George Ryder S. SPANS GENERATIONS in 2004, he compiled a racing career the equal of any, and according to his legendary trainer John Hawkes, he occupies a spot in his mind along with his sire Octagonal (NZ), as the best horse he has trained. When you consider how many top-level horses the master trainer has overseen, that is some recommendation. Being the best-performed son of Octagonal always led to inevitable comparisons between the two, but what he has been able to accomplish post his racing career has surpassed anything the great 'Occy' achieved at stud. Octagonal had a respectable breeding career, producing 539 winners, 25 stakes winners and four Group 1 winners, but Lonhro's stallion career is simply on another level. Lonhro | Darley Stallions As of his 21st birthday, he has produced 891 winners, 88 stakes winners and 12 Group 1 winners. Those Group 1 successes from his progeny have come in everything from By Bren O'Brien Golden Slippers, Blue Diamonds and VRC Sprint Classics up to As champion racehorse and champion sire Lonhro celebrates the VRC Oaks, underlining his incredible versatility as a stallion. his 21st birthday on Tuesday, we reflect on the achievements In 2010/11, with just four crops on the track, he was crowned and influence of the amazing racehorse and stallion.

'Yes, Lonhro won it. What a champion and what a way to go.' roared Miles, who was perhaps Australia's best ever commentator in terms of finding the perfect turn of phrase at the end of a race. That was Lonhro's most famous success in a 35-start career which yielded 26 wins, including 11 at Group 1 level. But it is just a small part of the enormous legacy he has left, and continues to leave Australian Thoroughbred racing as we mark his 21st birthday on Dec. 10.

Lonhro is also an increasingly influential broodmare sire, with his mares producing 26 stakes winners to date, including recent Group 1 winner Gatting (Hard Spun {USA}). A colt from his Group 1 winning daughter Bounding by Curlin (USA) recently sold for a record US$4.1 million (AU$5.9 million) at the Keeneland September Sale. His legacy will carry on well beyond his 21st birthday on Tuesday, but it's worth pausing to recognise the amazing things this December foal, the 344th born on Woodlands Stud in 1998, has been able to achieve.

SIR WINSTON NEARING RETURN ON FAIR GROUNDS TURF
Sir Winston | Adam Coglianese
Tracy Farmer=s GI Belmont S. hero Sir Winston (Awesome Again), sidelined since shortly after his victory in the Test of the Champion due to a left front ankle injury, posted a bullet half- mile breeze in :47 3/5 (1/90) Sunday morning at Fair Grounds and is pointing towards a return in the Woodchopper S. on grass Dec. 28 at the New Orleans oval. AHe shipped in a couple of days ago and he galloped Saturday,@ David Carroll, assistant to trainer Mark Casse, told the Fair Grounds notes team. AWe were looking to just get his feet over the track [Sunday] in a breeze. The track seemed fast early on, and he=s not normally a good work horse, but this morning he went quick and did it very nicely.@ Following his 10-1 conquest of the Belmont, Sir Winston developed what was termed a minor injury less than two weeks later and was sent to Casse=s personal training center in Ocala to rehab. AHuge credit to Mitch Downs and crew at Ocala who took him in after the Belmont and have nursed him back,@ Carroll said. AThey have done a terrific job getting him back to this stage and condition-wise he looks excellent. We=ll do something more serious with him next weekend and continue getting him ready to go.@ Though he has raced over dirt in his last five starts, Sir Winston tried turf once before to no avail, running ninth in a Saratoga maiden special weight last summer.
