The recent one-year-old horse auction held in Doville, northwestern France, has established itself as one of Europe’s most prestigious events, drawing international buyers. According to organizers, 236 one-year-olds were sold, generating total revenue exceeding 65 million euros, with an average selling price of approximately 278,000 euros. A notable highlight of the sales was the performance of the horse Normanniya, which reportedly set a new sales record.
This specific sale surpassed a previous record of three million euros. Normanniya, whose pedigree traces back to the stallion lines of Dedle Najtšed and Vuton Baset, was acquired by Irish billionaire M.V. Mengier and the American company Vaat Berch Farm.
The auction format for these young thoroughbreds is highly anticipated globally. The results underscore the high value placed on elite bloodlines in the equine market. The success of the Doville sale demonstrates robust global demand for high-caliber young bloodstock.
The high prices achieved for these one-year-olds confirm the sustained interest in top-tier racing prospects entering the professional market.
