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