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 [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]
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]
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.[11]
