Coolmore Australia Brochure 2021

Wootton Bassett His European fee has risen to €100,000 (Aus$155,000) for 2021, making his introductory fee for Australia of $71,500 look like real value. “A stallion who covers mainly moderate mares at a lowly fee in the early years of his stud career, and yet overcomes those meagre opportunities to supply a slew of high-class horses, is a rare and precious commodity. Australian breeders know that only too well, as three such upgraders – Written Tycoon , Not A Single Doubt and I Am Invincible – have been fighting for supremacy at the head of the General Sires’ list this season. Recent examples in Europe, meanwhile, include Kodiac, Showcasing, Siyouni and now Wootton Bassett .” The start of something special. He began his stud career in the bargain basement and those early crops have delivered the likes of triple Gr.1-winning European Champion Almanzor , 2020 Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup winner Audarya and 2020 Gr.1-winning 3YO sprinter Wooded . In other words he can seriously upgrade his mares with both quality and speed - exactly what it takes to be a big success in Australia.
