Coolmore Australia 2016

COOLMORE AMERICA Ashford Stud is located in the heart of Kentucky’s famous Bluegrass. e initial tract of land that Ashford consisted of was originally owned by Col. Edmund H. Taylor Jr. who founded the Old Taylor Distilleries in nearby Frankfort. It was developed around 1912 and operated as a cattle farm up until the late 1970s. At that time, Dr. Bill Lockridge began to transform the farm into a state of the art stud, fit for the finest stallions in the world. After three years of careful planning and construction, Ashford opened its doors for the 1982 breeding season. e stallion roster was headlined by Vincent O’Brien’s champion 2yo Storm Bird . When Ashford became part of Coolmore in the mid-1980s, Storm Bird , along with other top sires like El Gran Senor and Woodman , helped establish Coolmore’s reputation on an international level. In 2001 under Gulch became the first champion sire to stand at Ashford. Not to be outdone, Honour And Glory (2000), Hennessy (2001), Tale of the Cat (2003), Giant’s Causeway (2005 and 2014) and Uncle Mo (2015), all earned champion juvenile sire honours to go with those won by Woodman in 1990 and 1994. Giant’s Causeway landed three general sire titles (2009, 2010 and 2012); a feat only achieved by such luminaries as Bull Lea , Nasrullah , Bold Ruler and Danzig since 1941. e current superstar is American Pharoah . A champion at 2 and 3 years, he became the first Triple Crown winner for 37 years before finishing his racing career with a record-breaking Breeders’ Cup Classic victory.
