The catalog has been unveiled for the Arqana Vente d'Elevage mixed sale which will run four days in Deauville, France, Dec. 6-9.

A total of 1,002 lots have been cataloged for the breeding stock sale, consisting of 462 mares, 219 fillies in and out of training, 301 foals, and five stallions.

On the first day of selling, 248 exceptional mares, fillies, and foals will come under the hammer. The session includes Nyra, a daughter of Isfahan, who won this season's Hamburger Stutenpreis (G3) and was also placed in the German Oaks (G1). Offered by Ronald Rauscher, the 3-year-old filly is out of a half sister to group 1 winners Novellist and Magical Lagoon, whose three victories were headed by a 2022 Irish Oaks (G1) score. 

Monceaux will offer Lhakpa, a daughter of Siyouni, who was runner-up in the 2024 Prix Miesque (G3). Wertheimer & Frère will consign Imparable, a stakes-placed daughter of Lope de Vega .

Baroda Stud will consign Beautiful Warrior, a half sister to classic winner Beauty Parlour, who will come under the hammer carrying her first foal by Kingman 

Lily Hart, a listed stakes-winning daughter of Galileo, highlights the Le Motteraye consignment. She is offered pregnant to Coolmore's late superstar stallion Wootton Bassett. The resulting foal will be bred on the same cross as 10 stakes winners, headed by four group 1 winners including Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (G1) winner Puerto Rico.

Diana Stakes (G1T) winner Excellent Truth was purchased out of the sale last year for $1,690,785.
