Competitive from 2 to 5 years old at Gr.1 level over distances from 6 to 7 furlongs,
City Light is the only son of Siyouni with Gr.1 form over 6 furlongs. 

He was successful in the Gr.3 Prix de Saint-Georges and Prix du Pin,
was beaten just a short head in the Gr.1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot,
and finished second to three-time victrix One Master in the Gr.1 Prix de la Forêt. 

City Light is a vector of the speed genes carried by Siyouni, Kendor and Luthier
which have had such an important influence on French bloodstock.
