Coolmore Ireland Brochure 2022

Like at home in Ireland, Coolmore Australia has a history of producing Champion sires. It all started with nine-time Champion Sire Danehill; undoubtedly the greatest in fl uence on Australian breeding of all time. Encosta De Lago followed, as did Danehill’s great son Fastnet Rock, while the latest sensations are Pierro and So You Think. European sensation Wootton Bassett joined the roster for 2021 which already featured a pair of American Triple Crown winners. And with the Australian bloodstock industry being in such rude health, the future looks bright for Coolmore Australia!

Ultra-talented colt Home Affairs cemented his place on Coolmore Stud's future stallion roster Oct. 30 when he produced a breathtaking display to land the Coolmore Stud Stakes (G1) at Flemington Racecourse. … "This is what we came for," winning jockey James McDonald said. "To ride such a special colt like this; he was electric today. I couldn't believe at the furlong that I was so far in front. "He's an absolute beauty. The temperament and mind, that is what makes these good horses.” …Coolmore's Tom Magnier told ANZ Bloodstock News Oct. 29 he was excited at the prospect of the colt joining the operation's Jerrys Plains base, where he will stand alongside so many talented stallion's including fellow Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Merchant Navy (Fastnet Rock).

"What an incredible performance from an outstanding colt who has been managed perfectly by Chris Waller and his team. Congratulations to all of our partners in this incredibly exciting stallion prospect and to the Cornish family for breeding such a talented horse," said Magnier. …Of the 1200-meter contest, Magnier continued: "The Coolmore has developed into one of the great sire-making races in Australia and, today, Home Affairs has won in incredibly fast time, defeating a particularly high-class field. "He joins the likes of successful sires Encosta De Lago, Northern Meteor , Zoustar, Brazen Beau , Star Witness, and Flying Artie as a winner of this prestigious race and he's won it in a faster time than all of them. It's such a thrill, and we're absolutely delighted."
