It will help if you speak French.
Enjoy.

Based on the pedigrees of the dams of the nine yearlings, Europe's premier breeder doesn't appear to utilize any recent US breeding other than a couple of doses of Mr. P.

Not surprising, given that the Aga Khan studs primarily breed for the european racing market and current NA breeding isn't suited for that. Kitten's Joy may in time prove to be an exception, and possibly Arch.

I really like the look of the Fonage filly.

My impression is that the Aga Khan breeds primarily for the sport, not the market.

It appears to me that he's using a fair amount of recent NorthAm breeding but only that which has been tested on the European turf. Recently and otherwise, the tail female lineage of Siyouni himself is exclusively USA-bred from the 2d through 24th dams, including the majority of their sires. Same family as the great Lexington. :wink:
