Narissa

2023 b. f. Siyouni - Narmeen (Le Havre)

Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard

The first foal out of Narmeen, Narissa is a nineth generation homebred who traces back to the Aga Khan foundation mare Teresina, purchased in 1921 by the Aga Khan III.

This Siyouni filly first hit the track in the June of her two-year-old season, making an eight-length winning debut at Saint-Cloud. The impressive nature of her victory pitched her straight into Group company for her next starts, and she justified it by placing third in the Gr.3 Prix Six Perfections and a close second in the Gr.2 Prix d’Aumale.

It was then on to ParisLongchamp for the Gr.1 Prix Marcel Boussac. Here Narissa finished a very good third - echoing her paternal half-siblings and subsequent Group 1 winners Ervedya and Zarigana, who both placed in this race.

Narissa started her 2026 season with a second place in the Gr.3 Prix de la Grotte and a good fourth in the Gr.1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches.She took a well-deserved first Stakes success on her next outing, in the Listed Prix de Bagatelle at Deauville, where she finished ahead of Zarak fillies Zaraxia and Abbey Road.
