“It will be difficult to match the results of the previous edition, but auctions are always unpredictable. The foals are certainly no less impressive. They have fantastic conformation and come from exceptionally strong damlines.”
With an average price of €39,400 per foal on June 13, Flanders Foal Auction achieved a new record. Joppe AR Z (J-Nius V.V. Z) sold for €386,000, just below the record price of €402,000 paid last year for C-Bra Van Het Bokt.
“Once again, we have an Appaloosa-coloured foal that stands out not only because of its colour but also because of its quality. The dam of Jaxx CT Z jumped at 1.40m level in Israel and is a half-sister to showjumping horses at 1.60m, 1.45m and 1.35m level.”
35 jumping foals
During the international youth weekend at Sentower Park in Oudsbergen, 35 foals will go under the hammer, sired by 23 different stallions. United Touch S and Ermitage Kalone lead the line-up with four foals each, followed by Comme il Faut and Chacco Blue with three offspring, while Cornet Obolensky is represented by two foals.
“This is a very strong collection across the board. This time we have somewhat more foals out of younger mares, but all are exceptionally well bred. I counted no fewer than thirty granddams and thirty great-granddams that have already produced one or more 1.50m–1.60m Grand Prix horses,” says Gerald Lenaerts.
As always, the collection includes several standout foals out of proven sport mares. Carthamena vd Nachtegaal (Carthago Z) is out of the 1.55m Grand Prix mare Coromena. Her granddam Dimena competed at 1.60m level with Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and is the granddam of eight 1.60m–1.65m Grand Prix horses.
The athletic colt Cato Star QC Z (Catoki x Darco) is out of the 1.50m level showjumping mare Idole 111, the full sister of Winningmood (1.60m GP) and the dam of Mr. Idol S (1.60m GP).
Colt Dalton van ’t Koningsbos (Cornet Obolensky) is another eye-catcher. His granddam Roxanne de Regor is already competing at 1.50m level at the age of nine with Seppe Wouters and is bred out of the highly influential broodmare Centa de Muze.
Filly Exquis Key Z (Emerald x Bentley vd Heffinck) is a half-sister to two 1.60m Grand Prix horses and one at 1.50m level, and is a granddaughter of Babbe van ’t Roosakker (1.60m GP).
Filly Chica van ’t Pardassenhof Z (Chacco Blue x Taran de la Pomme) is out of a full sister to the stallion El Torreo de Muze (1.60m GP). Her granddam Funky Music (1.60m GP) also produced Bretling du Paradis Z (1.60m GP).
