Coolmore Australia Brochure 2022

Ireland The Magnier family have been in the stallion business for fi v gener tions, ever since Tom’s great great grandfather and namesake Thomas Magnier began offering the services of his stallion Edlington to the breeders of the Blackwater Valley in the 1850s. In 1970 Tom’s maternal grandfather Vincent O’Brien won the Triple Crown with a colt named Nijinsky. This spurned a particular interest in the horse’s young sire Northern Dancer and joining forces with John Magnier and Robert Sangster a ground-breaking plan was formulated to attack the American yearling market for prospective stallions. The rest as they say is history with successes from those early forays funding the development and expansion of Coolmore into what it has become today.
