Siphon (foaled November 11, 1991) is a Brazilian-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and multiple G1-winner in Brazil and the United States. [1]

Background

Siphon was bred by Haras São José e Expedictus  [ pt ] and foaled in 1991. He was sired by the champion Itajara, who is considered by many to be the best Brazilian racehorse of all time. [2] Siphon's dam is Ebrea, from the family of one of the founding mares of Haras São José e Expedictus. [3]

Race career

Siphon's racing career began in Brazil, where he ran in and won four of four races at Cidade Jardim. [4] He was exported to Argentina in November, 1994, running unplaced in the Gran Premio Nacional and Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini. [5] Siphon was then exported to the United States, where he was trained by Richard Mandella and won the Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes and Santa Anita Handicap, among other races. [1]

Stud career

After retiring from his racing career, Siphon was syndicated and entered stud at Airdrie Stud [6] in 1998. [7] He had a promising start at stud. [8] Siphon was moved to Regal Heir Farms in Pennsylvania for the 2006 breeding season. [9] He later stood stud at Pin Oak Lane Stud, also in Pennsylvania. In 2010, Siphon was sold back to Brazil to stand stud at Haras Bagé do Sul. [10] Siphon has sired multiple graded stakes winners, including Siphonic, Siphonizer, Sharp Impact, and I'm the Tiger.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Thoroughbred breeding theories</span> Breeding theories to produce better Thoroughbred racehorses

Thoroughbred breeding theories, or racehorse theories, are used by horse breeders in an attempt to arrange matings that produce progeny successful in horse racing. Bloodstock experts also rely on these theories when purchasing young horses or breeding stock. A basic understanding of these theories can also help the racing public understand a horse's theoretical genetic potential. The breeding theories stem from the belief that careful analysis of bloodlines can lend predictability to breeding outcomes. A well-designed mating increases the probability of the offspring's success, although many other factors also come into play.
