new sires
finishing fifth in all three races.
He is out of the Dr Fong mare La Bugatty,
a placed half-sister to the multiple Listed winner and sire Dansant (Dansili), and to the dam of the Group 3 winner Noblesse Oblige (Myboycharlie), Italy’s champion two-year- old filly in 2018.
His second dam La Balagna won three times at three and four and is a Kris half- sister to the multiple Listed-placed filly Folle Tempete, out of the Listed winner Belle Tempete by Lovely Dancer.
Siyouni is one of the big success stories
in French breeding of recent years with the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère winner now standing for €100,000 after siring the likes of Laurens, Ervedya, Spectre and Siyoushake.
In fact his trajectory mirrors that of his own sire Pivotal who started off at a four- figure fee and at his peak was advertised at £85,000.
Both Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector are doubly represented in the fifth generation of Le Brivido’s pedigree which doesn’t preclude mares descended from them to feature prominently in Le Brivido’s book.
Siyouni’s sire Pivotal has gelled remarkably well with Galileo mares and Siyouni’s Group 1 Prix du Jockey-Club winner Sottsass is out of a Galileo mare, while Ervedya is out of a mare by King’s Best, a half-brother to Galileo’s dam Urban Sea.
King’s Best is a son of Kingmambo whose sire Machiavellian is the sire of Siyouni’s Group 1-placed daughter Volta so Galileo mares and those by his sons should definitely be considered for Le Brivido, as should mares by Machiavellian and his sons and grandsons.
The six-time Group 1 winner Laurens by Siyouni is out of a Cape Cross mare and that cross or of other Green Desert line sires, such as Oasis Dream, would be worth trying with Le Brivido.
Land Force
No Nay Never – Theann (Rock Of Gibraltar)
Highclere Stud
£6,500
A high-class colt from the first crop of the scintillating young sire No Nay Never and a grandson of the brilliant Cassandra Go, Land
Force has speed, precocity and looks to burn. Bred by Mrs Evie Stockwell, Land
Force was a €350,000 Goffs Orby yearling purchased by MV Magnier.
The colt was sent to work straight away making his debut the following April at Naas and placing third behind subsequent Listed winner Dadoozart.
Stepped up to 6f for his next run, he duly obliged and was pitched straight into Listed company finishing third behind Fairyland (also owned by Mrs Stockwell), who would
go on to win two Group 1 races, and Van Beethoven, subsequent winner of the Group 2 Railway Stakes.
Sent to Royal Ascot for the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes (a race previously won by No Nay Never and Johannesburg), he finished a half-length third.
Remaining at the Norfolk’s 5f trip, he tackled the Listed Tipperary Stakes next and gained his first stakes victory which he quickly followed up with when successful in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood.
Both No Nay Never and Johannesburg won the Group 1 Prix Morny, which was the natural next step for Land Force, who finished fourth in the Group 1 on his penultimate start in Europe. Purchased by Yulong Investments to race in Australia, he made just one start
for his new connections and has returned to Europe to begin his stallion career.
Land Force certainly has one of the most prolific Group 1 families behind him as he
is a half-brother to the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes and Grade 1 Ladies First Stakes winner Photo Call, a daughter of Galileo who was purchased for $2.7m at Keeneland last November by Katsumi Yoshida.
They are out of Group 3 Summer Stakes winner Theann, a Rock Of Gibraltar half- sister to Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas, the Nassau Stakes and the Sun Chariot Stakes winner Halfway To Heaven.
By Pivotal, Halfway To Heaven is the dam of Galileo’s Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes, Champion Stakes, Tattersalls Gold Cup and British Champions’ Fillies and Mares Stakes winner Magical, her full-sister Rhododendron, winner of the Fillies’ Mile, the Prix de l’Opera and the Lockinge Stakes, and their full-brother Flying The Flag, who won the Group 3 International Stakes.
Theann is also a half-sister to Tickled Pink, a dual Group 3-winning sprinter by Invincible Spirit, and to the winning Pivotal mare Allez Alaia, whose Dark Angel filly made 1,050,000gns at Tattersalls Book 1 last October.
Land Force’s second dam is Cassandra Go,
