Arqana's overseas representation has been further strengthened with the addition of Ajay Anne, who has become the new Thoroughbred representative for the Middle East and India.
A graduate of the Darley Flying Start and the Indian Racing Academy, he started his career with Darley as its Middle East, Indian, and South African bloodstock representative.
Since the 2010 creation of his own agency, New Approach Bloodstock, he has guided numerous clients in purchases both private and at auction for racing and breeding.
He notably bought Rozene, dam of this year's Indian Derby winner Enabler.
Anne has also been a registered steward in the UAE since 2006, ensuring the smooth running of race meetings, including the Dubai World Cup, and he chairs Martin Collins, a world leader in the development of synthetic surfaces.
Anne said: "I'm delighted to be joining the Arqana team of representatives. Having lived in Dubai for 18 years now, I've been able to observe firsthand the evolution of racing in the Middle East. The Thoroughbred market is booming and investment is high, particularly in the yearling segment.
"India, my home country with which I have close ties, has many passionate owners and breeders, whose demand is mainly geared toward breeding and finding good mares and stallions. I'm excited and looking forward to what promises to be an great new chapter."
