Coolmore Ireland Breeders' Handbook 2019

Foaling Coolmore has six specialised foaling units where your mare and her newborn will receive the very best of care. Some of the world’s best breeders entrust us with foaling their mares and some of this year’s Gr.1 winning graduates include Alpha Centauri (Niarchos Family), Ten Sovereigns (Camas Park & Summerhill Studs), Poet’s Word (Woodcote Stud), Kew Gardens and Flag Of Honour (Barronstown Stud) and Latrobe (Sweetmans Bloodstock).
