COOLMORE America

Ashford Stud is located in the heart of Kentucky’s famous Bluegrass. In the early part of the 20th Century, the 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. In the late 1970s Dr. Bill Lockridge began to transform the farm into a state of the art stud. Ashford opened its doors for the 1982 breeding season and the stallion roster was headlined by Vincent O’Brien’s champion 2yo StormBird . 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. Thunder Gulch , Honour AndGlory , Hennessy , Tale of the Cat , Giant’s Causeway , Scat Daddy and Uncle Mo have all been outstanding sires over the years. American Pharoah , judging by the quality of his first crop, is expected to be the next added to the list. Ashford Stud, 5095 Frankfort Road, Versailles, Kentucky 40383, U.S.A.
