A SIYOUNI (Pivotal) colt, from the same family as Klawervlei Stud’s four time G1 winning sire TWICE OVER (Observatory), proved popular on the first day of Arqana’s August Sale on Saturday.
The globetrotting trainer Yoshito Yahagi went to €320,000 for the colt.
The pricey colt’s Kingman dam Brinjal is from a deep Juddmonte family, and is a KINGMAN (Invincible Spirit) half sister to the G1 winners TIMEPIECE (Zamindar) and PASSAGE OF TIME (Dansili),who, in addition to winning the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, has produced this season’s Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year and stallion Time Test.
Brinjal’s granddam is QUANDARY (Blushing Groom), whose Listed Oaks Trial winning daughter DOUBLE CROSSED (Caerleon) produced Twice Over.
This is also the family of 2025 G1 Prince Of Wales’s Stakes winner OMBUDSMAN (Night Of Thunder), a leading fancy for Wednesday’s G1 Juddmonte International.
Twice Over, whose progeny include such G1 winners as DO IT AGAIN, SEE IT AGAIN and DOUBLE SUPERLATIVE, has seven lots on offer at this week’s August Two Year Old Sale, including a colt (Lot 53) out of a stakes placed half-sister to the Klawervlei bred champion, and star sire, ONE WORLD (Captain Al).
