Arqana August is becoing the Dubawi show and his immaculately-bred filly from the Coulonces Consignment topped the auction so far when selling to James Harron Bloodstock for ﾀ1.5million. The March-foaled chestnut is a half-sister to the 2010 G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein winner Royal Bench (Ire) (Whipper) and 2011 G1 Irish Derby third Memphis Tennessee (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}) and hails from the high-class family of the top-level performers Honolulu (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}), LﾒAncresse (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}) and Moonstone (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}). ﾓShe was the pick of the sale,ﾔ commented the young Irish bloodstock agent Harron, who spent time as assistant to Hubie de Burgh. ﾓI just loved her and she has a great pedigree. She is exceptional. I have bought her for a new client, but I cannot say who and it has not been decided where she will be trained.ﾔ
