Coolmore Australia 2018 Brochure

For a number of years our team have searched for the right son of Fastnet Rock to join his sire at Coolmore Australia. In Merchant Navy, we feel that we have found a colt that may ultimately take the mantle from Fastnet Rock himself and we are delighted that he will join the Coolmore Australia roster for 2018. He has the perfect mix of speed, pedigree and good-looks to really excite commercial breeders. As genuine outcrosses to the Danehill line, we believe our young sire sensations Pierro and So You Think can be cornerstones of the Australasian breeding industry well into the future. In order to offer breeders more high-quality alternatives to the Danehill line, 2018 sees the introduction of Caravaggio and Churchill, two exceptional sons of two exceptional stallions in Scat Daddy and Galileo. We were overwhelmed by the reception received by American Pharoah in his first year and are particularly looking forward to the arrival of his foals in the spring. His first crop in the US has been earning rave reviews as they graduate into their yearling year and we are very fortunate to be able

to offer a horse of his calibre to the Australasian market. The record-breaking efforts of Coolmore graduate Winx have been another highlight of the last 12 months. Scarcely have we experienced an atmosphere on a racecourse like there was at Randwick in April when she claimed her 18th consecutive Group 1 win. A total of 75 stakes winning graduates, including 17 individual Gr.1 winners, since the start of 2015 further emphasises the excellence of our farm at Jerrys Plains and the team behind it at producing racehorses of the highest calibre. Our aim is to help breeders realise their goals and dreams and we believe we have the horses to achieve this. I am very excited by what the future holds for Coolmore Australia. Wishing you continued success in racing and breeding.
