Son of Doctor Dino dominates 10th edition of Show Lumet

On Saturday 20 August, the Ecuries de la Ridaudière held the 10th edition of the Lumet Show at Bécon-les-Granits. Organised jointly between David Lumet and ARQANA, the sale took place in great conditions following a morning where the lots were shown cantering.
 
Of the 58 jumpers that went under the hammer, 78% were sold for an average of €18,622, generating a turnover of €838,000. Numerous actors in the discipline were present and were very active during the day such as Trotting Bloodstock, David Cottin, Erwan Grall, Joffret Huet, Toby Jones, Guillaume Macaire and Hector de Lageneste, John Daniel Moore, Davide Satalia etc.

Lot 59 g. DOCTOR DINO x FILLE DU LARGE

Son of Doctor Dino makes top price at 2022 sale
 
Bidding on the telephone, Davide Satalia went to €70,000 for KRILL DU LARGE (lot 59), that was also the top price at the sale. The two-year-old son of Doctor Dino out of a sister to multiple group winner PRINCESSE KAP is from the close family of dual Grand Steeple Chase de Paris (Gr.1) winner DOCTEUR DE BALLON and the excellent POLITOLOGUE.
 
A little earlier in the afternoon, the gavel fell at €65,000 in favour of Trotting Bloodstock for PREZIENNE DU LARGE (lot 35), a half-sister by Great Pretender to multiple group winner LE PREZIEN.
 
Nominations to Nirvana du Berlais and Goliath du Berlais in support of the association KERGUY M’BOUR
 
Offered to buyers at the beginning of the sale, nominations for Goliath du Berlais and Nirvana du Berlais went for €13,200 in favour of the French/Sengalese charity KERGUY M’BOUR, which is working on the construction of a socio-educational centre in the town of Falokh in Senegal. David Lumet bought the former for €6,000, and Céline Gualde bought the latter for €7,200
 
Following the sale, ARQANA President Eric Hoyeau said, “The professionalism of David Lumet and his teams allowed once again the perfect organisation of the sale. The percentage of horses sold is a real source of satisfaction and the good profiles were well valued, as shown by the two top prices of the day. A large majority of the horses that passed through the ring will continue their careers in France, which is the main objective of this session. As far as the day’s proceedings are concerned, filming the horses over jumps before the sale and presenting them only cantering on the day of the sale seems to be the ideal formula.”
