Imperial Monarch (IRE
- 09 Bay Colt by Galileo x Ionian Sea (Slip Anchor)
- To Stud: The Beeches Stud
- Fee; €2,500
Imperial Monarch is a superbly bred & superior looking son of Galileo. He was unbeaten in one start as a two-year-old winning in a competitive maiden at The Curragh. He came back as a three-year-old winning the Group three Sandown classic trial in impressive fashion having lost a few lengths. Connections disappointingly swerved the derby and instead took him to France where he won the Group one Grand Prix De Paris beating Main Sequence who was second to Camelot in the Derby. Imperial Monarch didn't win again. He has breeding to make a huge impact in the breeding shed. His dam was a listed winner in France. Ionian Sea has since become a formidable broodmare. She is the dam of dual Group three winner Mount Athos, as well as The Great Gatsby who was second in the Derby. His full sister Roman Empress was third in the Yorkshire Oaks while another full brother Magritte was placed in the Racing Post Trophy. They are all by Sadler's Wells. Ionian Sea is a half sister to jumps sire sensation Oscar. He was second in the French derby, his full brother Blue Stag was second in the Derby and is a sire in Brazil. They are out of dual Group three winner Snow Day. Imperial Monarch traces back to champion older horse Sakhee. At €2,500 he is a huge bargain sire
and I have full belief that he can make it as a stallion in the ever competive jumps sphere.

Recital (FR)
- 09 Bay Coly by Montjeu x Dibenoise (Kenmare)
- To Stud: The Beeches Stud
- Fee: €2,500
Recital was a Group one winning two-year-old winning the criterium saint cloud in France. As a three-year-old he added further black type by winning a moderate renewal of the Group three Derrinstown stud derby trial. He finished sixth to his paternal half brother Pour Moi in the Derby. Sold to connections in Qatar, he made little impact & will return to home soil to stand at stud. Recital has a very interesting pedigree. He is bred on the same Montjeu/Kenmare cross as seventeen times Grade one winner and dual champion hurdler Hurricane Fly. Recital also has a nice pedigree to back him up. He is a brother to Group one Prix Ganay winner Corre Comino's. While his half siblings include multiple French Group winner Racinger. The line traces back to French champion two-year-old filly Princesse Lida, who was also joint champion in Europe.
