Leading European sire Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}–Sichilla {Ire}, by Danehill) will again be available to cover a limited number of mares to Southern Hemisphere time in 2024 from his base at Haras de Bonneval in France.
Siyouni, who has sired eight Classic races from eight to 10 furlongs, finished the 2023 season as the leading sire of milers, headed by Tahiyra (Ire), Paddington (GB) and Mqse De Sevigne (Ire), who collectively won nine Group 1 races. Mqse De Sevigne also annexed the G1 Prix d'Ispahan earlier this year.
In Australia, Siyouni has produced 60% winners to runners with seven stakes horses from limited representation, headed by Group 1-winning flying filly Amelia's Jewel (Aus) and Group 1-
placed Nugget (Aus).
“We are pleased to offer Siyouni once again this year to breeders wishing to cover their mares to Southern
Hemisphere time,” said Georges Rimaud, Manager of the Aga Khan Studs in France. “From just a handful of runners to date in Australia, he has an impressive strike-rate. Many people have remarked how physically well suited Siyouni is to the Australian market, and he stamps his progeny to match. We invite breeders to contact us to discuss terms.”
