They were good races of course, but I think that there are still very good horses hidden till know. Within the females, I think that Stacelita (Monsun) will take the french Oaks (If Fantasia runs it will be a very good race).

About the males, there are always a lot of visitors from GB and Ire and Coolmore will send some sons of Galileo and Montjeu.The reduction of the Derby distance has been a quite rare decision and the Derby has lost a bit of it's "cache". There is a Monsun colt that has done nothing relevant till know, but won in impressive Style a D course. It is Sayaab, another son of Monsun.

Monsun is extraordinary. Given the dams he has received, he has produced an Astonishing 14% of stakes winner from foals, with many mares that haven't produce any blacktype. They have won group races in GB, Ire, France, Italy, Germany, USA,....He is doubling the quality of the mares (AEI/CI)
