Coolmore Australia 2018 Brochure

A success story that started in the 1820’s

The land now farmed by Coolmore at Jerrys Plains, New South Wales, has a long association with horses going back to the 1820’s when its owner George Bowman had a sire called Pegasus. In the 1890’s the Ellis family stood a top Clydesdale stallion by the name of Gallant Scotchman. Then in the early part of the twentieth century the Moses brothers, William and Frederick, stood or bred outstanding thoroughbreds such as St Alwyne, Valais, Nightwatch, Poitrel, Heroic, Manfred and Valicare. There have been 54 Gr.1-winning graduates of Coolmore Australia since 1996 including champion sprinter and champion sire Fastnet Rock and the brilliant juveniles Pride of Dubai and Vancouver. More recently 9 have been Gr.1 winners since the start of 2017 including the remarkable triple Cox Plate winner Winx, Pinot, Mighty Boss, Unforgotten, Catchy, Oh Susanna, Inference and Avantage. It’s a success story because great horses start with good land, and at Coolmore Australia we take great care of both. Every horse - all the way through the foaling, rearing, weaning and breaking in processes - is treated as if it could be the next champion. And it might even be one of yours!

17 GR.1 WINNERS since 2015

54 GR.1 WINNERS since 1996

One of the first sires Coolmore shuttled to Australia, Last Tycoon , became champion sire in 1993. It’s a feat Danehill went on to achieve no less than nine times, while Encosta de Lago (pictured in bronze) and Fastnet Rock have two titles each.
