German sire Monsun has been euthanized at age 22.
The son of Konigsstuhl, who suffered from
blindness in his later years, was put down at his long-term home of Gestüt
Schlenderhan near Cologne in Germany after suffering from a severe neurological
disease.
Monsun (pictured) was the sire of 91 stakes-winners including 14 Group
I winners led by 2007
world champion Manduro, Shirocco and Stacelita.
Monsun figured prominently at Royal
Ascot this year, where he sired the Queen's Vase winner Estimate and Tercentenary
Stakes scorer Energizer, and featured as damsire of Gold Cup winner Colour
Vision, who is entered for this year's Melbourne Cup.
