Deauville-based trainer Stephane Wattel has an impeccable strike rate with sons of Siyouni, as of the three he has trained so far, one is a Group-placed three-year-old, the other won last week on his two-year-old debut and the third one ran an eye-catching 3rd first time out, 10 minutes before the start of today's sale. Understandably, the Deauville-based professional was keen to add another colt by the Haras de Bonneval resident and went to €110,000 to take home lot 401, a half-brother to the Gr.3-winning juvenile PEARL FLUTE and to Listed victrix SECRET PURSUIT. The Jedburgh Stud offering hails from the same family as STRAIGHT RIGHT, himself a Listed-winning son of Siyouni.

The colt was offered to dissolve a partnership and John Corbani has bought out his partner Alec Waugh. We have been very lucky with Siyouni and this fellow has always been very straightforward. He has done very well over the past few weeks and we are pretty excited about him.
