Monaco Consul (NZ)

2011 Service Fee: $19,800(inc gst, free return)

Standing at Patinack Farm,
Canungra, QLD

CLASSIC PERFORMANCE – CLASSIC PEDIGREE – CLASSIC LOOKS

A dual Group 1 winning son of a champion racehorse and one of the best sire sons of his champion sire, Monaco Consul is the first son of Derby winner High Chaparral (IRE) to go to stud.

Winner of the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes and Victoria Derby, Monaco Consul established himself as one of the best of his generation and trained on to be one of the best four-year-olds in a classic year.

He epitomises the type of ‘fast’ middle-distance horse which Australian yearling buyers want.

His pedigree is ideal for Australian and New Zealand breeders.

Monaco Consul’s physical appearance also oozes quality, his ‘miler’ type conformation and handsome features look suited to any style of mare.

Monaco Consul’s dam Argante is a half sister to Group 1 winner Con Air and a half-sister to Australian Guineas winner and successful sire Military Plume. This is the immediate family of Group 1 winning sprinter Nicconi and five-time Group 1 winner Niconero.
