Pierre-Yves Bureau of Wertheimer & Frère had to fend off stiff opposition from Jean-Claude Rouget to secure an son of their homebred stallion Anodin for €140,000. Offered by Haras du Cadran and bred in partnership with Pascale Ménard, the colt is descended from the distant family of TREVE. A year ago at the same sale, Wertheimer et Frère had supported Anodin with the purchase of two colts, one of which, HARMLESS, is now unbeaten in three starts for Christophe Ferland including the L. Prix Roland de Chambure last time out.

Supporting our stallions has always been part of our policy, explained Bureau. We did it with Green Tune, Gold Away, Poliglote, Intello and have always been rewarded. It is also a way of thanking the breeders who have placed their faith in our stallions. This colt really stood out for us and time will tell if we were right!
