Italian Oaks winner among six wildcard entries for Arqana's Breeding Stock Sale

Italian Oaks winner Auyantepui heads six wildcard entries unveiled on Friday for next month's Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale, with a filly foal by Kingman also set to be presented.

Bred by the Parri family, Auyantepui (lot 160) took Classic honours when denying Memphis by a neck at San Siro in July, and is one of 28 stakes performers for the red-hot Night Of Thunder, whose fee was upgraded by Darley to €75,000 for 2021.

On her arrival in France in August, the three-year-old finished third in a Listed contest behind the Roger Varian-trained Queen Daenerys.

She appeals as a particularly exciting broodmare prospect as her second dam won the Premio Regina Elena and produced Derby Italiano winner Cima De Triomphe.

Prix Fille de l’Air winner Directa (lot 170) is another black type-winning filly to be offered, with her latest success coming off the back of a Listed victory at Deauville last month. The daughter of Anodin has won five of her ten starts for trainer Joël Boisnard.

No Nay Never filly Zaur's Heart (lot 130), a half-sister to Group winners Fas and Silva, will be consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux, while the unraced Lions Den (lot 120), out of dual American Grade 1 winner Arravale, will also be presented by the leading consignor.

Newton's Night (lot 110), a Galileo sister to Group 3 victress Dress Rehearsal, is another offered by Ecurie des Monceaux and is currently carrying to Advertise. The dam of one winner to date, the nine-year-old has a yearling by Siyouni and a foal by Kingman.

Juddmonte's leading sire will have a filly foal (lot 140) by Group 3 scorer Lil'Wing go under the hammer. She hails from a classy Wildenstein family, with Louve, Loup Breton and Loup Sauvage among her relatives.
