LUTHIER (by Klairon) was one of the brightest stars in France in 1968, a Prix Lupin winner who was a beaten odds-on favourite in the Prix du Jockey-Club (French Derby) before dropping back to a mile to make most of the running for victory in the Prix du Moulin. Rated 126 by Timeform, he stood at Haras d’Etreham and was a multiple champion sire, with top-level winners that included Sagace and Riverqueen.
