He was only 22.
Excellent Blood Horse article here:
Barry Irwin supplied one of comments in the comments section of that article.
Most magical stallion I have ever seen. Bred to him repeatedly, raced his offspring. Nothing like him. Miss him already.
He’ll be sadly missed.
That he took his place among the top stallions of the world (and commanded a €150k ($225k) stud fee at his height) with such an outlier of a pedigree was somewhat comforting and gives hope in an ever contracting gene pool.
He was a magnificent looking animal too… http://www.stallionbook.co.uk/pages/images/monsunpic.jpg
