Arrowfield Secures Sale-Topping Arcadia Queen

Meanwhile, the record sale gross was boosted at the 2021 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale when, in the last 45 minutes of the final session, it was announced a deal had been struck by owner Bob Peters with Arrowfield Stud to purchase outstanding racemare Arcadia Queen (Pierro) for the sale-topping price of $3.2 million. "She's a wonderful mare," Arrowfield Stud's Paul Messara said of the WA glamour mare who had been passed in on Day 1 of the sale. “[She’s]one of those foundation style mares that you love to have. It's a fantastic pedigree and obviously she's an amazing mare. She will go back to Arrowfield and one of our breeding ventures and we're delighted to have her." Messara noted, "We've got Dundeel who is a possibility - but there's a few others and we might even look outside of our stallion roster. Obviously with a mare like this it is very important to get the right mating for her and produce the best commercial outcome.”
