Multiple Group 1 winner Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) has been retired to become a broodmare, according to a post on X from owner-breeder Baron Edouard de Rothschild's Haras de Meautry.
“Mqse De Sevigne returns to Haras de Meautry to begin her new life as a broodmare, having won five Group 1 races with Andre Fabre including the double-double of Prix Rothschild and Romanet in successive years,” the stud posted on X. “Truly the Queen of Deauville.”
A homebred for the Rothschild family, the bay was trained by Andre Fabre. The daughter of the multiple stakes-placed Penne (Fr) (Sevres Rose {Ire}) won in two starts at two, and then claimed the G3 Prix Vanteaux at three besides placing in another pair of group stakes. Kept in training at four, she earned victories in the G1 Prix Rothschild and G1 Prix Jean Romanet last summer before signing off her 4-year-old year with a second to subsequent Breeders' Cup heroine Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.
In 2024, she won four starts in succession–the Listed Prix Jacques Laffitte, G1 Prix d'Ispahan, and the Rothschild/Romanet double once again. In her fifth and final 5-year-old appearance, she ran unplaced in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe after a disrupted and wide passage. Her record stands at 18-8-6-1 and $1,112,339 in earnings.
Penne's first foal was the Slickly (Fr) colt Meandre (Fr), who would win a quartet of Group 1 races in France and Germany and would go on to place in the G1 Hong Kong Vase. Mqse De Sevigne is her ninth foal.
