The chestnut colt Vuitton became the top seller of the 2017 PS Online Foal Auction, the first auction organized by Paul Schockemohle where the bidding took place online. The final bidding concluded on 25 June 2017 at 17h00.

"To be honest we were surprised from the start, how well the online foal auction was going, from day one," said Paul Schockemohle. "But what happened in the last minutes of the auction time for each foal was thrilling. It's totally different from a live auction, but equally exciting."
"With this foal auction format we have created a win-win situation," Paul added. "For breeders this format means a lot less hassle, more chances and more success. The buyers can just inspect the foals from the comfort of their horses and buy them. The biggest advantage is that the foals and their dams don't have to travel."
