Siyouni Available for Southern Hemisphere Time Covers

Media Release - Tuesday July 2

Leading European sire Siyouni will again be available to cover a limited number of mares to Southern Hemisphere time in 2024 from his base at Haras de Bonneval in France.

Siyouni has sired 76 SW's, 10 of them G1 winners.

Siyouni, who is consistently among the top ten sires in Europe, has sired the winners of many of Europe’s most prestigious Group 1 contests, including eight Classic races from eight to 10 furlongs.

In 2023 he finished the season as the leading sire of milers thanks to the exploits of Tahiyra, Paddington and Mqse De Sévigné, who won nine Group 1 races between them – with the latter named also picking up the Gr.1 Prix d’Ispahan earlier this year.

In Australia, Siyouni has produced 60% winners to runners with seven Stakes horses from limited representation, headed by Group 1 winning flying filly Amelia’s Jewel and Group 1 placed Nugget.

Georges Rimaud, Manager of the Aga Khan Studs in France, commented: “We are pleased to offer Siyouni once again this year to breeders wishing to cover their mares to Southern Hemisphere time. From just a handful of runners to date in Australia, he has an impressive strike-rate. Many people have remarked how physically well suited Siyouni is to the Australian market, and he stamps his progeny to match. We invite breeders to contact us to discuss terms.”
