SIOUX NATION, former Coolmore’s runner was trained by Aidan O'Brien with a record of 4 wins, 1 second and 2 thirds in 15 starts, winning distance from 1000M to 1200M. He notched G2 Norfolk Stakes as an outsider with Ryan Moore when he was age 2, then he lifted G1 Phoenix Stakes but could only finished 3rd in Flying Five Stakes that behind HAVANA GREY and SON OF REST in his five G1 attempts in Great Britain, Ireland and France when he was 3YO. The son of SCAT DADDY commenced stud duties in 2019 at Coolmore Stud, Ireland and used to shuttle to Australia with 23 black type contests winners. His service fee in 2026 is EUR€ 37,500. COOGEE BAY was sold at 70,000 gns in 2025 Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale. His sire SIOUX NATION currently has a limited number of offspring in Hong Kong, but boasts a solid success rate with progeny performing well on both Shatin and Happy Valley. His dam EASTER ORCHID is a daughter of CAMELOT while she placed once over 2400M during her racing career, and one of her offspring has also finished fourth over 2400M. The bay gelding will likely require a mile or further to show his best and he should be capable of handling soft going.
