Montjeu a star performer
Montjeu's fast becoming a bit of a star, having produced 2 Derby winners from his first crop & 7 stakes-winners world-wide from just 2 crops of racing age. The young stallion has also sired 2 Derby quinellas. The Coolmore-owned 3YO colt Hurricane Run (Montjeu-Hold On, by Surumu) won the €1.3 million Gr1 Irish Derby (12 furlongs) for 3YOs at The Curragh yesterday, defeating Susan Magnier’s colt Scorpion (Montjeu-Ardmelody, by Law Society). In the G1 English Derby earlier this month, Montjeu also sired 5-length winner Motivator (Montjeu-Out West, by Gone West) as well as the runner-up Walk In The Park (Montjeu-Classic Park, by Robellino). Not bad stats by anyone's reckoning. Windsor Park in NZ will be needing antidepressants at this rate.
