It promises to be a challenging weekend, but one filled with high expectations. A quick glance at the collections shows exactly why.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This will be the fifth time Flanders Foal Auction holds an auction during the renowned Dublin Horse Show. At the InterContinental Hotel on the corner of the showgrounds, Irish buyers and other equestrian fans gather. Last year, they pushed the average price to over \u20ac28,000.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The highlight of that auction was an embryo by Cornet Obolensky out of the highest-earning mare in history, HH Azur, who earned \u20ac4.2 million in prize money with McLain Ward. That embryo sold for \u20ac76,000. A full brother, C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur HH Z, was auctioned by Flanders in June and purchased by Peter Charles for \u20ac88,000. Good news for the Irish: this year, an embryo by European Champion United Touch S out of HH Azur will be auctioned.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Sibling of an Olympic champion<\/strong><br>The new collection is truly a dream: it includes a full brother or sister of Christian Kukuk\u2019s Olympic champion Checker 47 (Comme il Faut x Come On). There\u2019s also a three-quarter sibling of Daniel Coyle\u2019s top mare Legacy and a Chin Chin foal out of the same dam as the Olympic showjumping horse Caracole de la Roque (1.65m GP with Karl Cook).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>\u201cWhen you go to Ireland, you need to bring something special. That\u2019s appreciated,\u201d say Luk Van Puymbroeck and Gerald Lenaerts. \u201cBuyers can call themselves the breeders and register the foals in Ireland, making them eligible for the Irish championships for young horses, a hugely popular event.\u201d \u2018Flanders\u2019 is even offering free transport for the surrogate mares to Ireland.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Top mare Irenice Horta<\/strong><br>The action continues the following day at Sentower Park, where the auction evening kicks off with fireworks. Up for auction is the 1.65m Grand Prix mare Irenice Horta (Vigo d&#8217;Arsouilles), who placed seventh at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon with Lorenzo De Luca, also competed under Cian O\u2019Connor and secured top finishes in the Grand Prix of Rome and Dublin. The 17-year-old mare, known for her unlimited scope, is accompanied by her young, stunning filly by Cero Blue TN (Chacco Blue), who will also go under the hammer.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Irenice Horta has six offspring, two of which are already jumping at 1.60m level: H5 Origi Horta with Carlos Hank and Morris Horta with Martien van der Hoeven. Her son Peanuts Horta competes at 1.50m level with Vladimir Tuganov. The story doesn\u2019t end there: Irenice\u2019s dam is Erenice Horta (Diamant de Semilly), who jumped successfully 1.60m GP with Edwina Tops-Alexander. Adding to the prestige, a colt by United Touch S out of Irenice\u2019s full sister will also be auctioned.<br>Foals<br>Nearly all the famous Belgian damlines are once again represented: Roosakker, Qerly Chin (de Muze), Klapscheut and Van\u2019t Ruytershof, joined by top families from Germany, the Netherlands and France.<br>Expect high interest for the colt by Chacco Blue out of the same dam as multiple Global Champions Tour GP winner Vangog du Mas Gargier (1.70m GP with Olivier Robert). Or consider a gorgeous Emerald son out of the dam of Alibi de la Roque (1.60m GP with Julien Epaillard), the full brother of Hello Senator (1.65m GP by Carambole) or a stunning filly by Balou du Reventon out of the half-sister of world champion Cumano.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>The foal collection of Sentower Park<\/strong> is online:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/flandersfoalauction.be\/en\/veiling\/Flanders-Foal-Auction-at-Sentower-Park-89\">https:\/\/flandersfoalauction.be\/en\/veiling\/Flanders-Foal-Auction-at-Sentower-Park-89<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The embryo collection will follow shortly.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Facts about the embryo collection in Dublin<\/strong> (August 8):<br>\u2022 25 embryos, sired by 16 different stallions<br>\u2022 Leading sires: United Touch S and Comme il Faut (3 each), followed by Chacco Blue, Zineday, Balou du Reventon and Ermitage Kalone (2 each)<br>\u2022 5 embryos out of mares that competed at 1.50m level or higher, including one at 1.70m and one at 1.65m level<br>\u2022 4 embryos with granddams that competed at 1.50m level or higher, including one at 1.65m and three at 1.60m level<br>\u2022 9 embryos out of mares that already gave 1.50m or higher level showjumpers, including four 1.65m Grand Prix horses<br>\u2022 21 embryos have a granddam that gave a 1.50m or higher level showjumper<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:separator -->\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<!-- \/wp:separator -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Facts about the foal collection at Sentower Park<\/strong> (August 9):<br>\u2022 37 foals, sired by 23 different stallions<br>\u2022 Leading sire: Chacco Blue (6), followed by United Touch S, Emerald and Balou du Reventon (3 each), and Heartbreaker, Carambole and Ermitage Kalone (2 each)<br>\u2022 5 foals out of mares that competed at 1.50m level or higher, including one at 1.70m and one at 1.65m level<br>\u2022 9 foals with granddams that competed at 1.50m level or higher, including one at 1.65m and three at 1.60m level<br>\u2022 14 foals out of mares that already gave 1.50m or higher level showjumpers, including four 1.65m Grand Prix horses<br>\u2022 32 foals have a granddam that gave a 1.50m or higher level showjumper ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the embryos are auctioned in Dublin on Friday evening, August 8, it won\u2019t be long before the Flanders Foal Auction team boards a flight to make it in time for the foal auction on Saturday evening, August 9, at Sentower Park in Belgium.
