From the brilliant Galileo family, Gr. 2 Winner Masterstroke is a horse with outstanding bloodlines. He has made a highly-promising start to his career as a sire.

A son of the great stallion and sire of sires Monsun, ten-year-old Masterstroke was foaled by Melikah (Lammtarra), a half-sister to the phenomenal Flat sires Galileo and Sea The Stars, and also to leading Jump stallion Black Sam Bellamy.

His high performing crop includes; Floridee, who has won Listed and Group Three races at Auteuil. His successful Flat foals include Medyna, winner of the Hungarian 1000 Guineas (local Gr.3). At September’s Yorton Sale, held in conjunction with Goffs UK, two-year-old sons of Masterstroke sold for £22,000 (to Gabriel Leenders) and £28,000 (to Dan Skelton).

In the 2019 breeding season he was very well supported by some of the leading French NH breeders covering 93 mares.
