MANDURO (by Monsun) was the world’s top-rated horse in 2007, and when his first juveniles included the Group 1 winner Mandaean and the Group 1-placed Bonfire, he looked like a stallion with the potential to get classic and other Group 1 horses of the future.

Two years ago his daughter Charity Line won the Group 2 Oaks d’Italia and the Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio, last year Ribbons took the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet, and that filly added the Group 2 Blandford Stakes to her tally just six days after Braco Forte won the Grade 1 Grande Premio Ipiranga (2000 Guineas) in Brazil.
