French Champion Sire Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}–Sichilla {Ire}, by Danehill), will be available to cover mares on Southern Hemisphere time for €100,000, The Aga Khan Studs announced on Friday.
In 2021, Siyouni is the sire of G1 French 2000 Guineas hero St Mark's Basilica (Fr) who also won the G1 Darley Dewhurst S. at two. Last year, Siyouni's 2019 G1 Prix du Jockey Club victor Sottsass (Fr) captured the G1 Qatar Prix l'Arc de Triomphe. The bay has also sired G1 French 1000 Guineas winners Dream And Do (Ire) and Ervedya (Fr), the latter successful three times at the highest level. He is also responsible for six-time Group 1 winner Laurens (Fr), who won the G1 Prix de Diane.
From only six runners in the Southern Hemisphere, the 14-year-old has four black-type performers, including listed winner See You In Spring (Aus), while he also has had yearlings sell for up to A$550,000 in Australia.
