Expanded in 2026, the Osarus La Teste Yearling Sale concluded on Wednesday with improved metrics across the board.The clearance rate increased 5% from the 2025 edition, with 182 lots sold from 227 offered (80%). The gross almost doubled at €1,952,750 (92%) and the €9,000 median and the €12,260 average increased 6% and 13%, respectively.Leading the way across the two-day stand at La Teste-de-Buch were a trio of lots consigned by Haras de Castillon, with the two highest prices of the sale finding new homes on Wednesday. A daughter of Mehmas (lot 141) caught the eye of Mandore Agency and Salvador Dink at €61,000, while her draftmate, lot 189, a daughter of Armor, changed hands for €55,000 to Mandore International Agency.Out of Sundaze (Shalaa), the sale topper counts group winners Trip To Rhodos (Rail Link) and Brownie (Sunday Break) as half-siblings to her dam. Trip To Rhodos was also third in the G1 Prix du Cadran, while another half-sibling to Sundaze, the listed heroine Danza Cavallo (Sunday Break), reported home second in the GI Flower Bowl Stakes in the US.A granddaughter of multiple group winner Maiden Tower (Groom Dancer) who was placed twice in Group 1s, lot 189 is the second foal out of her dam, Babel (Shalaa). Babel, in turn, is a half-sister to stakes hero Penglai Pavilion (Monsun), second in the G2 Grand Prix de Deauville and the G2 Hyde Novices Hurdle. Another half-sister to Babel produced black-type winner Creative Thinking (Creative Cause), responsible for GI Gamely Stakes victress Thought Process (Collected).Two other lots made €40,000 on Wednesday, with lot 158, a daughter of Armor and relative of stakes scorer Don Diego De Vega (Lope De Vega), going to Florent Gavilan from the draft of Haras de Montaigu. Later in the day, a son of first-season yearling sire Ace Impact sold to Oliver St Lawrence Bloodstock for that price from the Coulonces consignment of Anna and Moa Sundstrom. His dam is a half-sister to the stakes-placed Legion Of Honour (Wootton Bassett) from the family of American Grade I winner Ticker Tape (Royal Applause).The post Haras De Castillon Offerings Lead Day Two At Osarus appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
