Amo Racing smash Arqana record with €3,000,000 Night Of Thunder filly

Amo Racing smashed the Arqana August Yearling Sale record when Kia Joorabchian bid €3,000,000 to secure the Night Of Thunder filly out of Ecurie des Monceaux’s blue hen Prudenzia midway through Monday’s session in Deauville. The bidding blasted into seven-figure territory in the blink of an eye, with Joorabchian, standing with Amo’s bloodstock agent Alex Elliott, personally lodging a string of rapid-fire increases. The blue-blooded filly was bred by Monceaux and the late Lady O’Reilly, and farm director Henri Bozo sought to buy out his fellow shareholders by joining in the bidding.There was a remarkable rally of €100,000 raises that moved the price from €2 million to €2.7 million in a mere matter of seconds. However, proceedings came to a dramatic conclusion when Joorabchian delivered the decisive nod of the head that took the filly’s value from €2.8m to €3m in one fell swoop. That price comfortably eclipses the previous August Sale record, which was set in 2019 when John Ferguson paid €2.6m for this filly’s near relation Parabellum.
