The Haras des Étincelles endeavors to do well on the racetracks of Deauville and elsewhere. Olivia Saelens is in charge of breeding thoroughbreds whose family name comprises the word étincelle (spark) like Éclair-Étincelle or Étincelle-Olive. She has recently acquired Guensdale's Star, a 4-year-old thoroughbred whose kins are often found among leaders of races.
