Coolmore Australia Brochure 2023

IN THE PIPELINE

When Coolmore purchased Wootton Bassett in the summer of 2020 he had just one Group 1 winner to his credit, albeit a very special one in European Champion 3-Year-Old Almanzor (from his sire’s first crop of just 23 foals). In the intervening period that tally has risen to six, courtesy of Prix Jean Romanet and Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare heroine Audarya , Prix Saint-Alary winner Incarville , 1000m Prix de l’Abbaye winner Wooded , and Group 1- winning juveniles Zellie and Al Ri ff a . And remember, these were conceived at fees as low as €4,000. But the really exciting part is what comes next. In his first seasons at Coolmore Ireland and Coolmore Australia he was visited by the crème de la crème of broodmares. Turn the page to view some of the outstanding weanlings from his first Southern Hemisphere crop.

AL RIFFA , winner of the National Stakes-Gr.1 at 2 years in 2022 for Joseph O’Brien and Jassim Bin Ali Al Attiyah on just his third start took this step up in class in his stride
