LINAMIX closed the 2005 flat season as the 4th leading living sire in Europe by prize money won, Montjeu, Sadler's Wells and Giant's Causeway being ahead of him, with the deceased Danehill at the top of the listing. At a covering fee of €40 000, and a strike rate of 67% winners to runners, Linamix surely represents value for breeders. Contact Haras du Val Henry on +33 (0)2 31 635380 to arrange a viewing.

KALANISI meanwhile is one of the Top Ten Leading 1st Crop sires listing in Europe by prize money won. His 2 year olds of 2005 included Gr.2 runner-up Kilworth, Listed performer John Cena, and several other highly promising juveniles to look forward to in 2006, amongst them Oaks prospect Sindirana.
