08:20 · October 21, 2020 · 2 min read Siskin is being aimed at the Breeders’ Cup Mile and will then head to Japan to stand at stud. Trained by Ger Lyons, the First Defence colt won the Irish 2,000 Guineas in tremendous style earlier in the season, stretching his unbeaten run to five. Since then he has been beaten in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood and the Prix du Moulin, losing his chance in the latter having become upset on loading into the stalls. “He’s worked this morning, he’s in great order and looks fantastic,” said Lyons on Wednesday, speaking on Nick Luck’s Daily Podcast. “This year was about the Guineas, the Sussex, come back for a light campaign, maybe the Boomerang and have a look at the QEII ground depending, but that has been put on hold. “I didn’t want to send him as a three-year-old to the Breeders’ Cup, but he won’t be staying in training at four so the Breeders’ Cup now becomes an option and at this moment he is being trained with that in mind. “He’s going to stand in Japan. I’m gutted. In many ways I’m delighted for him as he’ll get a serious quality book of mares that he maybe wouldn’t get in Ireland, but I’d have loved to have trained him at four. “It just goes to show where we are in the industry when powerhouses like Juddmonte and Coolmore still have to sell their best horses for economic reasons.

With that history it'll be a crapshoot how he behaves first time in the starting gate in NA with a large field. At least there won't be very many spectators, I guess. Quote:
Coolmore very frequently sells their horses, but not usually their best. They frequently do a lot of business selling to Australian connections ahead of the big races down there. This year they sold Sir Dragonet who failed to reach the top class level despite a lot of hype.

On the other hand, there's certainly been a ton of horses attempting back-to-back BC wins despite losing form heading into the second attempt that absolutely tanked. Maybe the BC can solve this dilemma by creating a BC FM Turf Mile.

The Chad Brown barn is hard to follow without paying close attention. I had to check the calendar to see what year it was when I saw Analyze It in a race the other day.
