Recent Listed winner Qualixia, who hails from the same family as top-class South African sire Querari, made €320,000 to top Sunday’s session of the Arqana Breeding Stock Sale.
Offered by her trainer Philippe Decouz, the German-bred daughter of Blue Point delivered a timely update ahead of the sale having landed last month’s Listed Grand Prix de Fontainebleau in decisive fashion.

The four-year-old is out of Quariana, an unraced daughter of Lomitas, who is a sister to G3 scorer Quilanga, while she is a half-sister to Listed-winning pair Quixote and Quinndo. The figure given for her on Sunday was a nice return on the €30,000 she realised as a yearling at the BBAG September Sale in 2022.

Qualixia, whose top-class granddam Quebrada also ranks as the granddam of champion Querari, is set to continue her career with Joseph O’Brien.

South Africa’s Leading Sire of 2YOs in 2018-2019, Querari enjoyed success in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mauritius this past weekend.
Not only did Querari gelding Rockaroundtheclock romp home to win the third race at Turffontein by two and three quarter lengths, but fellow Querari geldings Solartrip and River Hawk won at Borrowdale Park and Mauritius on Saturday.
