A share in 2018 G1 Diamond Jubilee S. second City Light (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr})-Light Saber {Fr}, by Kendor {Fr}) has been purchased by Haras d'Etreham, Jour de Galop reported on Tuesday. Bred by Isabelle Corbani and Jedburgh Stud, the bay races for Corbani and Jean-Louis Bouchard. A winner of the 2018 G3 Prix de Saint-Georges and the G3 Qatar Prix du Pin on Sept. 15, the 5-year-old has a further two group placings to his credit, as well as a trio at listed level for a record of 21-7-8-0 and $578,150 in earnings. Trained by Stephane Wattel, he is pointing for the G1 Qatar Prix de la Foret on Oct. 6.
“The horse has been the subject of important offers from abroad and we have been following him for quite some time now,” Haras d'Etreham Director Nicolas de Chambure told Jour de Galop. “We are very pleased to have reached an agreement and it is excellent news that he remains in France. He is expected to be Siyouni's first son to go to stud and will be syndicated at the end of his career. City Light is a healthy horse, who ran for four seasons. He has tremendous speed and acceleration, attributes that are found in many very good stallions.”
City Light is a half-brother to Norwegian SW and Swedish Group 3 placed Busybeingfabulous (Fr) (Soldier of Fortune {Ire}) and French MGSP Soft Light (Fr) (Authorized {Ire}). His second dam is the GI Budweiser International S. Heroine Leariva (Irish River {Fr}), herself responsible for SW & MGSP Athanor (Fr) (Ashkalani {Ire}).
