Arcadia Élevage looking to make a splash

SALLY ANN GRASSICK speaks to Antoine Bellanger of Arcadia Élevage, who offers his first draft at Arqana’s Select Yearling Sale this week

eading out on your own and setting up as a consignor after many years with a top operation would be a daunting Hchallenge in any normal year but, as we all know by now, 2020 is far from a normal year. However, Antoine Bellanger is feeling confident ahead of presenting his first yearling draft under the banner Arcadia Élevage at the Arqana Select Yearling Sale, after 11 years as yearling manager at Écurie des Monceaux. “It is obviously far from ideal and the whole world is going through a difficult period at the moment, but I have to get on with things, I Lot 33 is the first lot into the ring for Arcadia Élevage and is a can hardly change my mind now!” says Bellanger. “The Territories half-brother to the Gr.2 winner Boscaccio industry is quite unique as it almost operates in its own bubble. I am (). confident that the large breeding operations will continue to invest in yearlings and that will filter down to the smaller breeders to like that. I was interested to see what their plans and ambitions were pay for nominations and pinhookers to buy foals. for the future, so when I was offered the position of yearling manager, “If there is a drop in investments from those big players, then every I decided to take the opportunity and see where it would lead. level of the industry will suffer. In France we are lucky that we are still “In the early days at Écurie des Monceaux, we only had about six running good races for decent prize money, so we have a real product yearlings to prep for the sales and I did all of the work. I would go from to market to new investors, even in the current difficult climate.” looking after the horses, to mucking out, to mowing the lawns – it was Bellanger has no doubt already witnessed the industry peaks not like the breeding operation we know today!

That was my first “Honestly, it was quite scary to leave Monceaux after such a long experience of a different stud outside of my family’s breeding time and while the stud is at the very top of its game,” he says. ”I was operation and I learnt a lot during my time there. settled in my role and it was a great place to work, but I have always “Then I decided to travel to gain more experience and started out liked to set myself objectives that challenge me and keep me moving in Derrinstown Stud in Ireland, where I spent a year and a half, before forward.

“This colt is really strong and a true athlete. He is very impressive to look at and moves beautifully,” Bellanger enthuses. “He is out of a Sea The Stars mare from the strong Aga Khan family of Valia. She is a very talented filly and a strong contender for the Gr.1 Prix Vermeille, which unfortunately for us comes after the sale. Kodiac is in incredible form at the moment after his 1-2 in the Gr.1 Prix Morny recently, so I am delighted to have one of his sons in my first draft. Lot 282 looks like a fast two-year-old with a strong hind-quarter. He walks very well for a sprinter and I’m looking forward to seeing how he gets on.” “We have two fillies for the second part of the sale, a lovely racy filly Lot 110 is a son of Air Force Blue out of the Listed-placed by (Lot 406) who should appeal to trainers, and a filly Happyness (Verglas), from the further family of the Classic from the first crop of Zarak (Lot 424) who has a real look of Dubawi winner and top producer . about her. Our draft for the second part of the sale is completed by an Invincible Spirit colt (Lot 389). He lacks a bit of strength still, but he will be a lovely horse in the future when he develops fully.

It was just a cattle farm when we bought it, so there was quality of the yearlings we prep, our broodmare band and the a lot of fencing to be done and a barn to be built before the first facilities on the farm. I hope to extend the farm so we can grow horses arrived at the end of November.” naturally and comfortably. The health of the grass on the farm is of Arcadia Élevage first appeared in a sales catalogue last the utmost importance to me, so we will not grow beyond the current December when consigning a stallion prospect at the Arqana limits I have set until it is the right time to do it on every level. It was December Sales, but this month will see the fledgling operation never in my plan to have 150 broodmares and consign huge drafts at present a draft of seven yearlings at the Arqana Select Sale. the sales. “I am very happy with my draft both in terms of quality and “I have a system in place that I am proud of where our yearlings quantity.

I believe that is essential for their everyone amongst those yearlings; from precocious two-year-old mental well-being and development.

From the family of Treve, he is a sibling of three winners including German Gr.2 and Listed winner Boscaccio (Mount Nelson). “This good-looking colt is from an excellent family on his dam’s side. He is a strong sort and walks well. Territories has had a good start with his first crop on the track and this is a very nice colt,” Bellanger says. “We also have a colt by Air Force Blue (Lot 110) who is the first foal out of a Stakes-placed Verglas mare. He is a lovely yearling and I think he will catch the eye of a lot of buyers at the sale.” The latter was purchased as a foal for €40,000 at Arqana last December by Bellanger himself so he will have a vested interest in seeing how his selection fares on his return to the ring. Another foal knocked down to Arcadia Élevage last December, for the Lot 275, a Dark Angel colt, pinhooked at Arqana last princely sum of €135,000, was a son of Dark Angel who returns December, is from an outstanding Aga Khan family. to the ring as Lot 275.
