Coolmore Ireland Brochure 2023

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 fi rst 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 Turf heroine Audarya , ‘Abbaye’ winner Wooded , Prix Saint-Alary winner Incarville , Prix Marcel Boussac winner Zellie and National Stakes winner Al Riffa . And remember these were conceived at fees as low as €4,000. This year he had 77 yearlings sell for up to €750,000 at an average of €192,041 – nearly fi ve times the €40,000 at which they were conceived. But the really exciting part is what comes next. Turn the page to view some of the outstanding foals from his fi rst Coolmore crop.
