At Royal Ascot 2024 no less than 13 winners were either sired by Coolmore stallions and/or raised here on the farm. Join the success!
It's really interesting that the ‘commercial’ stallion is widely seen as the one that can get you a two-year-old runner at Royal Ascot, but from an owners’ and trainers’ point of view the ‘commercial’ stallion is actually the one that gets horses who command a serious resale price either to Australia, America, Hong Kong or the Middle East. David Redvers , Good Morning Bloodstock, 27/09/24 “
When we started out we concentrated on those speedy pages and precocious ones, but there is demand for the middle-distance sort Paul McCartan of Ballyphilip Stud after purchasing a filly foal by CAMELOT for 140,000gns “
“Very good first foal, has quality, he is tall and short coupled, correct legs and good bone,” reported Harry King the day after AUGUSTE RODIN was born at Coolmore. “He will be very good,” observed Paul Shanahan four months later. “He’s very special,” said Ryan Moore after riding him work in the February of his two-year-old year. A six-time Group 1 winner at 2, 3 and 4 years.

The filly was offered by Camas Park Stud on behalf of Ben Sangster, who not only bred her talented dam Sense Of Style ( Zoffany ), a Gr.3 and Listed-placed runner for Joseph O’Brien, but also her grandam Attire ( Danehill Dancer ), the dam of multiple Gr.1 winner Luxembourg alongside the Gr.2 winner Leo De Fury ( Australia ). “ It is a strong market and she is a beautiful filly and when you get two to tango, you get two to tango - and I am just the lucky recipient ,” said Sangster. “ It is a lovely family. I am a bit gobsmacked . “ I think everything that has happened this week has exceeded expectations. Camelot has had a great year and his daughter winning the [Gr.1] Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe has just put him right up there .”

he could easily have put up a performance in line with how his trainer described him. …the way he would change his legs, and seemingly be going strong as he hit the line was unusual in any top race. ...the way he was treated, raced, talked about and the tasks he was set, strongly suggested to me his connections really did think he was the second coming and that he was different from all the rest.
Pricewise
...I can’t help but think he was right when he said that City of Troy was the best he has ever trained. ...For me there was something about the way City of Troy hit the line in the Dewhurst, the Derby and the Juddmonte that told me he was massively superior to those he raced against, and that with the right set of circumstances

Kevin Blake ….The last seven months or so have seen it all play out in front of us. As Wootton Bassett’s first Coolmore crop near the end of their two-year-old year, how can we rate their performance? Pick whatever superlative you like, none of them will be considered over the top. From 101 starters out of 182 named foals, Wootton Bassett has produced 10 Group-winning two-year- olds, with four of them winning Group 1 races. Those top-level scorers were Camille Pissarro in the
Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp, Tennessee Stud in the Criterium de Saint- Cloud, Twain in the Criterium International and Henri Matisse in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar. There have been plenty of top-class stallions in recent decades that took many, many years to sire four individual Group 1-winning two-year- olds. Indeed, some of them didn’t ever reach that number. So, for Wootton Bassett to produce that many in a single crop is a quite stunning performance.
