Why I won’t go to the U.S. sales
Larrieu can be seen at all the French, Newmarket and Irish yearling sales, plus broodmare sales at Newmarket and Arqana in France, but not the U.S. “Most of the horses I buy as yearlings cost up to €150,000. I don’t have the clients to spend more.
“I never go to the U.S. sales anymore. They have been breeding and selling horses on medication for the past three generations. Before, it was different. In Europe, we are racing where not a single horse is on day-to-day medication, with strict regulations, and we are breeding sound horses in France and other European countries.”
