God Blessing

Exciting son of Siyouni remains unbeaten. Haras d’Haspel homebred God Blessing was the front-running, one-and-a-half-length winner of the Listed Prix de Tourgeville at Deauville on Thursday, becoming the 64th Stakes winner for his sire SIYOUNI.

The Damien de Watrigant-trained colt is now unbeaten in three starts and is one of eight Stakes winners from SIYOUNI’s current three-year-old crop, which also includes the Classic winner Txope. He will now be aimed at the Gr.3 Prix Daphnis.

Both Txope and God Blessing went through the ring at the Arqana Select Yearling Sale in 2020. SIYOUNI has 21 yearlings set to sell at next week’s Arqana August Yearling Sale, among them a full-brother to Txope as well as a brother to Prix du Jockey Club and Arc winner Sottsass.
