Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 9

Aga Khan Studs have released their fees for 2024 with their rosters topped by Siyouni and Sea the Stars, who have both been given increases.

Siyouni

Siyouni tops the list in France at €200,000 up from €150,000, while Sea the Stars goes up from €180,000 to €200,000 in Ireland.

Siyouni has had a stellar year with three Group I winners in glamour three year-olds Paddington and Tahiyra, plus dual Group I winning older mare Mqse de Sevigne and in Australia his star daughter Amelia’s Jewel has flown the flag.

Sea the Stars

Sea the Stars has sired four Group I winners – Sea Silk Road, Hukum, Emily Upjohn and Australian trained import Just Fine – producing 23 stakes-winners in total for the year, six of them in Australia.

Georges Rimaud, manager of the Aga Khan Studs in France, said: “With two internationally proven leading sires, one rapidly rising star and two exciting new stallions to offer breeders in 2024, we go into next year with as strong a roster as we have ever had.

“We look forward to showing them to breeders over the next few weeks, and invite people to get in touch with myself or Fanny Cyprès in France, or Pat Downes or Julie White in Ireland, to discuss their mating plans.”
