The list below shows the leading Thoroughbred sire of racehorses in France for each year since 1887. This is determined by the amount of prize money won by the sire's progeny during the season. Due to the huge prize money of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the sire of the winner of that race typically wins the title of the Leading Sire in France.[citation needed] The 2016 novel Mount! by Jilly Cooper describes the process to gain the fictional title for global leading sire.[1]
