SISKIN’S victory in the Group 1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas this year stands proud as the biggest 2020 win so far in the colours of Prince Khalid Abdullah. The colt, trained by Ger Lyons, is a great example of the breeding programme at Juddmonte.

Prince Khalid bred and races Siskin, and he did the same for his sire First Defence, his dam Bird Flown and her sire Oasis Dream, Siskin’s grandam Silver Star and her sire Zafonic. First Defence’s third dam was Prince Khalid’s blue hen mare, Toussaud.
