The Aga Khan stallion is notably sire of St Mark’s Basilica, Champion European juvenile last season and recent winner of the Poule d’Essai des Poulains on his seasonal debut earlier this month.

He is one of three winners of the French Guineas sired by Siyouni joining Dream and Do, ane Ervedya.

Heading the progeny of Siyouni is Sottsass, hero of the 2020 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and Prix du Jockey Club in record time, as well as six time Group 1 winner and Prix de Diane heroine Laurens.

Sottsass has been retired and stands on the Coolmore roster at a fee of €30,000

Siyouni has made his presence felt in Australia with seven runners producing five winners headed by Group II winner Aylmerton, this season’s 2YO stakes-winners See You in Spring and Group placed juveniles See You Soon and Direct.

His progeny have proved popular in the sales ring in Australia, with nine yearlings selling this year at an average $312, 777 with his top seller a colt from Totally Mystic that made $550,000 at Inglis Easter.
