The two newest stallion recruits at Haras de Bonneval have made an excellent start to their stud careers, with both VADENI and EREVANN having their first mares scanned in foal. VADENI was crowned Cartier Champion Three-Year-Old after a campaign which saw him achieve a rare double in the Prix du Jockey Club and the Eclipse Stakes. He is set to receive 10 mares from the Aga Khan Studs in his debut season, including proven Stakes producers CANDARA, dam of three Stakes winners including Group 1-placed Candarliya; SAMADRISA, a half-sister to Classic winner Sarafina and dam of Stakes winner Simeen; and BEHNASA, a half-sister to a Group 1 winner whose first produce has already achieved black type.

Among Stakes winning mares visiting VADENI is Group 1 winner RIDASIYNA, as well as Group winner ZANNDA. He will also cover Stakes performer RAYISA as well as EYAZIYA, a young daughter of Stakes winner Eshera from the prestigious ‘E’ family of Ebadiyla, Ebaziya and Estimate.

As a son of Dubawi out of Siyouni’s three-time Group 1 winning daughter Ervedya, Group 2 winning miler EREVANN boasts a particularly attractive pedigree. He will also receive 10 mares from the homebred broodmare band, among them Group 1 winner and producer DARYAKANA, dam of Dariyan, and her half-sister DARIYBA.

EREVANN’s book also includes two mares from the family of Harzand and Big Rock – HANAKIYYA, dam of two Stakes winners, and HASIMIYYA, a daughter of Group-placed Haziyna – as well as Stakes performer KASSABA and Group winner and producer SHAREEN.
