Coolmore Australia Brochure 2019

I would like to thank all our clients and friends for their continued support over the last 12 months. Your success on the track and in the sales ring gives us great satisfaction. In 2019 we offer the finest line-up of stallions ever assembled at Coolmore Australia with an outstanding mix of proven sires, the best young colonial sire prospects and a select group of international superstars. It is an honour to stand two US Triple Crown winners in the Hunter Valley. Justify, the only Triple Crown winner ever to retire unbeaten, will stand alongside American Pharoah, who has already enjoyed an excellent start with his first two-year-olds in Europe and America. We are also delighted to offer the unbeaten Group 1 winning two-year-old and Guineas winning three-year-old Saxon Warrior and the incredibly exciting Mendelssohn, who has everything we look for in a stallion prospect. Once again, Fastnet Rock has enjoyed tremendous success both in the sales ring and on the track this season. He is undoubtedly one of the most influential sires in recent times and in his son Merchant Navy we believe we have his heir apparent. He covered an outstanding book of mares in his first season and was supported by some of Australasia’s best breeders, giving him every chance of sire success. We very much look forward to seeing his first foals this spring. Given the dominance of Danehill and his sons over the last two decades in Australia, it is extremely satisfying to have two proven outcross options in Pierro and So You Think who have already worked incredibly well with Danehill-line mares in Australia. In order to offer

breeders more high-quality outcross options we will stand three of the best sons of the late, great Scat Daddy at Coolmore Australia in 2019. Standing alongside the aforementioned Justify and Mendelssohn will be one of the most exciting young sires in the world in No Nay Never. The record-breaking achievements of the incredible Winx have been a source of great pride for the farm over the past four years. She has given so much joy to her owners and the Australian public and we are delighted to have been a part of her story which will live on forever. She is one of 12 Gr.1 winning graduates of Coolmore since the start of 2017, alongside the likes of Angel Of Truth, Oohood, Unforgotten, Comin’ Through and Avantage. This continued success is as a direct result of the quality of our pastures here in Jerrys Plains, as well as our dedicated and experienced staff who ensure that all horses are given the best possible care. As we look towards the 2019 breeding season, on behalf of the whole team I wish you all continued success with your racing and breeding and hope that we can assist in these endeavours.
