Arqana will offer a share in France's champion first-crop sire and leading second-crop sire Siyouni (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) through its online platform, arqanaonline.com Nov. 12 and 13. Siyouni, who stands at the Aga Khan's Haras de Bonneval in France, was syndicated on the basis of 50 shares after his retirement from racing, with the Aga Khan Studs covering expenses related to keeping the horse and promotion. The share includes one free nomination each year, plus one additional nomination in 2016 and every second year after. In addition, the proceeds of nominations sold each year on top of the 81 nominations of shareholders and those with breeding rights will be redistributed to shareholders. The life insurance of each share is the shareholder's responsibility, and the sale of this share will be subject to a 30-day pre-emption right from current shareholders, unless the buyer is already a shareholder.
Eric Hoyeau, Chairman of Arqana, said, “this sale represents an extremely rare opportunity to buy into one of the most promising young stallions in Europe. From just two crops, Siyouni has already more than proven that he can produce horses that can excel at the highest level, both as 2- and 3-year-olds. His offspring took no time to convert buyers from all over the world and numerous foreign breeders have also sent mares to him. We are delighted to be able to present this opportunity to both French and international breeders thanks to Arqana Online, an ideally suited sales and marketing tool, as witnessed recently with the sale of a share in champion trotting stallion Bold Eagle.”
Registration for the online sale is now open at arqanaonline.com. Bidders will be issued an access code once approved, and the sale will open Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. and end the following day at the same time.
