Siyouni’s Siyouincanada An Impressive Front-Running Winner at Churchill

Wait 5 sec.

Dismissed at odds of 16-1, LNJ Foxwoods' SIYOUINCANADA (FR) (c, 3, Siyouni {Fr}–Polished, by Kitten's Joy) was forced to do a lot of work to make the early lead, but switched off through the middle stages of an 8 1/2-furlong maiden to close the Memorial Day card at Churchill and whistled home to earn 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard.Given a positive ride by Jaime Torres, the interestingly bred colt was able to secure the front end, but had company to his outside in the form of the favored and once-raced Your Wildest Dream (Not This Time), who prompted the pace through a demanding-enough opening quarter-mile in :22.61.Torres managed to take the pace out of the race down the backstretch, getting the half-mile in :47.74 and he completed an internal half in :50.12 when guiding the field past the five-sixteenths in 1:12.73. Given his relative inexperience and having gone relatively hard in the first part of the race, it would have been reasonable to expect Siyounincanada to back out of it, having gained a good education for the next time. Instead, he took a deep breath and pulled clear of his rivals full of running, getting his final 2 1/2 furlongs in a very smart :28.98 to score convincingly.Siyouincanada is out of a half-sister to LNJ Foxwoods' MSW & GISP turfer Dogtag (War Front) and, speaking of the Great White North, his female family includes King's Plate-winning multiple champion Caitlinhergrtness (Omaha Beach).Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
