THIS is the third season at stud for Imperial Monarch, a good looking bay son of Galileo who is closely related to Oscar. He was unbeaten as a two-year-old and a Group 1 winner at three years when he scored for a Coolmore partnership in the Grand Prix de Paris. He stands at The Beeches Stud in Co Waterford in company with such top National Hunt stallions as Flemensfirth, Mahler and Sans Frontieres.
