MONSUN (Konigsstuhl) was a top-class racehorse and one of the greatest German sires of all time. His stallion sons include German champion sire Samum and Group 1 stallions Shirocco and Manduro.

Monsun stallion sons have made a powerful impact on the National Hunt sector with many blacktype winners, of whom superstar Sprinter Sacre (Network) stands out. Shirocco has given us Champion Hurdle heroine and five-time Grade 1 winner Annie Power, Arcadio is sire of the Grade 1 winner Flying Angel, while Getaway is responsible for the Grade 1 winning hurdler Verdana Blue.
