Coolmore Ireland 2019 Brochure

Australian Sprint Speed. Only three Australia-bred colts have won Royal Ascot’s showcase sprint the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes . All three had to overcome a significant weight disadvantage being weighted as older horses despite not having yet turned four in their birthland. Not surprisingly all three come from the Danehill sireline standing at Coolmore Australia. Choisir , Starspangledbanner and now Merchant Navy , three Aussie greats who took Royal Ascot by storm.
