Even the Derby (Epsom) is no longer the ultimate test for a potential stallion. Colts that win the Derby are usually promptly dropped back to 10f so that they will have the credibilty they need to earn a future stud career. If Montjeu had not gotten off to a stellar start, his great record at 12f would have certainly been a disadvantage in trying to boost him. Wiinning the St Leger would seem to be the kiss of death for a colt.
