Maël Thibault has joined the bloodstock team at Arqana ahead of the breeze-up sale which takes place on Saturday. Thibault's role will eventually see him take charge of the inspections for Flat and National Hunt yearlings, as well as stores in France.
The appointment sees Thibault return home from Australia where he had been managing the stallions at Newgate Farm, having previously spent a full sales season at Yarraman Park. In Europe, his experience includes spells at Écurie des Monceaux and the Irish National Stud, while he also completed a Master's degree in Sports Management at the Win Sport School in Nantes.
“I'm delighted to be joining the Arqana team and highly motivated by this opportunity, which fits in perfectly with my career path,” said Thibault. “I'd like to thank Ludovic Cornuel, Freddy Powell and Olivier Delloye, who have placed their trust in me to take up this new challenge.”
