Coolmore Announce 2023 Fees

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 26

Coolmore Australia have announced fees for 2023 with the return of Group I sire Starspangledbanner to the roster and also Justify (USA), who is set to be Australia’s leading first season sire.

Set to be crowned Australia's champion first season sire, Justify (USA) is back on the roster at Coolmore this spring.

Triple Crown hero Justify has made his mark with outstanding two year-old filly Learning to Fly dominating the fillies division before unfortunately losing her rider in the Golden Slipper.

Justify has another exciting filly in the Peter Moody trained filly Legacies, who won easily on debut and runs in the Listed ANZAC Day Stakes on Saturday.

The Triple Crown winning son of Scat Daddy had strong results at the yearling sales this year with his second crop averaging $369,000  at Magic Millions and $344,000 at Inglis Easter, a great indication as to the regard in which is current two year-olds are held.

A fee for Justify is to be announced in due course.

So You Think was Australia's busiest sire in 2022 covering 2011 mares.

Fastnet Rock tops the roster at $110,000 with perennial favourites So You Think and Pierro priced at $99,000 and $82,500, while Wootton Bassett (GB) has a slight increase ahead of his first Australian yearlings selling at our sales in 2024.

Home Affairs was the busiest first season sire in Australia last year covering 202 mares.

I Am Invincible’s champion son Home Affairs was the busiest first season sire in Australia last spring and there is much anticipation surrounding the arrival of his first foals along with those by Acrobat, who was super popular in the affordable price range.

Pride of Dubai has sired eight SW's in Australasia this season!

The Coolmore roster features a great mix of promising and proven sires priced to suit all budgets.
