Mark Richards and Nick Columb wore a smile of relief after signing for lot 231 at €240,000, having tried to secure a colt by Haras de Bonneval's Siyouni for a long time. The colt ouf of the Listed performer Peinted Song was offered by Haras de Montaigu and hails from the family of Peintre Celebre.

This will make our CEO happy, quipped Richards. We have been trying to get hold of a Siyouni for a long time and looked at quite a few so we are delighted to have found one that fitted the bill and was within our budget. Our CEO is very keen on the sire, which we think will suit Hong Kong very well. This colt is a massive type of horse who won't do much for the time being and be re-offered at our sale.
