Rathbarry have gotten in on the clamour for sons of Monsun by securing the sevices of Shirocco as a national hunt stallion to stand at Glenview. Presumably as he stood at 7000GBP last year he will be at the higher end of the NH scale fee-wise, is he a good bet or is he a bit dependent on his daughter Annie Power and the current confidence in the Monsuns ?
Dreadful flat sire...useless on AW aswell and lets hope he has a future for NH but he was a complete failure on the flat. One swallow doesnt make a spring and i wouldnt ever judge a stallion on the female stock that they get.
Look at Motivator - Authorized - Azamour... all G1 wins female division...
considering they hand out G1 to 100 rated fillys in europe there is just no point getting excited by a stallion if the only progeny stars are female.

think he's a good prospect - some notable Irish trainers love his stock - progeny need time and get stamina, so ideal for NH. he's also a full 16.2h which helps.
