German Derby winner Sisfahan (Fr) (Isfahan {Ger}) will stand at Haras de Longechaux in France beginning this year. His fee has been set at €2,800. Jour de Galop first reported the news.
A rare paternal descendant of Mill Reef (GB), the Darius Racing and Michael Motschmann runner enjoyed his biggest day in the sun in the 2021 G1 Deutches Derby and was also a Group 2 winner in Italy for Henk Grewe. Through five seasons of racing, Sisfahan was placed three more times at the highest level in Germany, and he also ran third in the 2024 G2 Dubai City Of Gold in Dubai. Sisfahan was retired after finishing unplaced in the G1 Dubai Sheema Classic behind Rebel's Romance (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) last March. His record stands at 18-3-5-3 and $848,831 in earnings.
Bred by Guy Pariente Holdings out of the winning Kendargent (Fr) mare Kendalee (Fr), the chestnut was a €16,000 alum out of the Arqana Autumn Mixed Sale in 2019. Offered by OH Consignment during the Auctav National Hunt Sale in September of 2024, he was a €200,000 buy-back.
