Coolmore sets auction record as Yoelbis González cleared for La Rinconada race

At the Deauville auction, Coolmore secured a record-breaking purchase by acquiring a Wootton Bassett colt for 4.6 million euros. The foal, which is related to Gold Cup winner Scandinavia, set a new record for the August Arqana auction, surpassing the previous record of 3 million euros set last year.

In Venezuela, the La Rinconada racetrack is preparing for its 33rd official meeting, featuring 13 races including two selective events for two-year-old horses. Jockey Yoelbis González is cleared to compete this Sunday despite a six-week suspension issued by the board of commissioners; his penalty is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 24, allowing him to fulfill his existing commitments for the upcoming weekend.
