Consigned by Ecurie des Monceaux, a son of Siyouni out of Group winner PACIFIQUE went for €210,000, with the colt set to cross the channel to join the boxes of David Menuisier. He is from the close family of the top class PRUDENZIA, MAGIC WAND and CHICQUITA.

I’ve bought him for a client based in the Southern Hemisphere, said the trainer by telephone. He’s a lovely horse from a very good family. I love middle-distance horses and with a bit of luck, he could be a colt for the Melbourne Cup in a few years. This is what my Australian and New Zealand clients are interested in, and if he has a bit of speed and stamina, he should do well.
