The first product of SIYOUNI was born on Saturday 14 January at Haras du Mezeray. The bay filly is the second product of her dam Fair West, a winning full sister to Group 2 placed Kalgoorlie (Gone West).
SIYOUNI has proved very popular for his first season at stud in 2011, covering a full book of mares. Amongst the 91 mares in foal are some illustrious pedigrees, such as daughters of Group 1 winners Porlezza and Zalaiyka, the dam of Group 1 winner Cirrus Des Aigles and half sisters to Natagora, Monsun or Bachelor Duke.
As a racehorse, this son of Pivotal was rated the best French two-year-old of his generation. His first year on the track culminated when he won the Gr.1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère, defeating subsequent Group 1 winners Dick Turpin, Lope De Vega and Beethoven. SIYOUNI stands alongside leading French sire SINNDAR at Haras de Bonneval.
