Search is on for the next Olmedo or Teppal as V2 catalogue released

The catalogue for this year's Arqana V2 Yearling Sale, designated for more physically forward lots, has been unveiled and will comprise 140 youngsters.

The company hopes that the next Olmedo or Teppal - V2 graduates who annexed this year's Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Pouliches at the new Longchamp - could be found among the lots on offer at this year's renewal which takes place on August 21.

Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget snapped up the Declaration Of War colt Olmedo for €100,000 from the Capucines consignment last year, while Con Marnane signed the docket at €60,000 for the Camacho filly Teppal on the same day.
