After eight editions, the answer is a resounding yes. Last year\u2019s average price of \u20ac17,600 in Al Ain pales in comparison to the \u20ac27,222 average achieved on the evening of Saturday, January 18, in Abu Dhabi. The embryos from top mares Gancia de Muze and Azur HH fetched record prices of \u20ac86,000 and \u20ac64,000, respectively.<br>The VIP lounge of the Al Shira\u2019aa Horse Show in Abu Dhabi provided the perfect setting for the embryo auction. The fireworks began with the sale of semen of the Al Shira\u2019aa Grand Prix stallions Enjoy de la Mure and Chacco Bay, which went for \u20ac22,000 and \u20ac8,500, respectively. HH Sheikha Fatima Bint Hazza Al Nahyan of Al Shira\u2019aa Stables is donating the proceeds to the Palestinian Children\u2019s Relief Fund Charity.<br>100% sales success<br>The Arabian evening resulted in a record-breaking auction, with a 100% sale rate of all 22 embryos and a total revenue of \u20ac599,000. \u201cThis was unprecedented. We knew we were bringing an exceptionally strong collection to the Emirates and hoped to attract a lot of interest both on-site and online &#8211; and we succeeded,\u201d said Luk Van Puymbroeck and Gerald Lenaerts.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Gancia de Muze<\/strong><br>In total, seven embryos were sold online, two via telephone, and eleven on-site. Loyal customers of Flanders Foal Auction fought fiercely for the United Touch embryo out of Gancia de Muze (Malito de Reve), who earned more than \u20ac2 million with Niels Bruynseels. Intense online bidding came from the United States, but Belgian buyers Marleen and her daughter Paulien Schepers, who travel multiple times to the Flanders Embryo Auction in the Emirates, held their ground and won the bid at \u20ac86,000.<br>\u201cWe are absolutely thrilled. We love attending the Flanders auctions because of their expertise and the excellent selection they always provide. We also secured the Emerald out of Olympic mare Sancha LS and the Emerald out of the 1.60m Grand Prix mare Parfait vd Bisschop. If any of them turn out to be fillies, we hope to give our breeding program a boost,\u201d they said with excitement.<br><strong>Azur HH<\/strong><br>Another highlight of the evening was the Mylord Carthago embryo out of the most successful mare ever, Azur HH (Thunder van de Zuuthoeve), who earned \u20ac4 million in prize money with McLain Ward. Shane Breen and horse owner Chris Warren from Great-Britain bid up to \u20ac62,000, but the final bid of \u20ac64,000 came from an Arabian buyer over the phone. However, they did secure the Comme il Faut x Kashmir Van Schuttershof and the Cornet Obolensky x Nabab de Reve embryos for \u20ac24,000.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201cWe spent a few hours this morning reviewing the catalog together and are absolutely delighted to have purchased these two. Once they are old enough, they will enter Shane Breen\u2019s training system, which is simply fantastic. We see this as a long-term investment, and our expectations are high,\u201d said Chris Warren with a smile.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Leone Jei<\/strong><br>Also sold within the Emirates was the half-brother of Martin Fuchs\u2019 top horse, Leone Jei. This final embryo of the evening, a Chacco Blue x Corland, fetched \u20ac40,000. Two embryos that each sold for \u20ac30,000 went to Belgian and German buyers: the Casall out of Nations Cup Final winner Calleryama (Casall) and the full sibling of top mare Mila (Monte Bellini x Linton). Other sales went to Egypt (3), the United States (2), England (2), Finland and Ireland.<br>The next Flanders Embryo Auction will take place on Saturday, February 1, at Sentower Park in Belgium, featuring another highly promising collection.
