Coolmore Handbook 2018

Sons of Invincible Spirit have Group winners out of grand-daughters of STORM CAT , by GIANT’S CAUSEWAY and TALE OF THE CAT . Mares by FOOTSTEPSINTHESAND and SHAMARDAL could help Ivawood sire good 2yos, with SHAMARDAL having the added appeal of being out of a MACHIAVELLIAN mare. The BLUSHING GROOM line demands respect. Lawman has two Gr.1 winners with dams by RAINBOW QUEST , while Invincible Spirit’s Prix Maurice de Gheest winners Moonlight Cloud and Signs of Blessing respectively have a dam by SPECTRUM and a second dam by NASHWAN . A son of Invincible Spirit has two Group winners out of LINAMIX mares. Ivawood’s sire also has the smart sprinter Magical Memory from a CADEAUX GENEREUX mare.

What he did as a 2YO was not normal… My highlight [of the year] was just him being in the yard. He was the best-looking horse in the place, he was very impressive every time he worked, and every time we went to the races with him it was huge excitement. Richard Hannon || || “Coolmore newcomer Ivawood offers what the market craves - high-class two-year-old form from the Green Desert sire line. Not only that, he was a 220,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 yearling. If he throws foals in his mould I can see plenty of breeders gaining a fine return” N ANCY S EXTON , B LOODSTOCK W ORLD , RACING P O ST 28 TH D EC . 2015
