Coolmore Announce 2026 European Fees

Tara Madgwick - Friday November 7

Coolmore have announced their full roster for Ireland in 2026 with No Nay Never standing at €100,000 to top the list which includes three blueblood young guns in Delacroix, Camille Pissarro and Henri Matisse.

Set to continue the Wootton Bassett legacy are Camille Pissarro (€30,000) and Henri Matisse (€20,000), while Dubawi colt Delacroix adds some US bloodlines to the mix through his female line and is priced at €40,000.

David O’Loughlin, director of sales at Coolmore, said: "It was a major blow to lose Wootton Bassett the month before last, but we’re extremely fortunate to have his sons, Camille Pissarro and Henri Matisse, retiring for the coming season.

"These are his only two sons to have won Group 1 races at both two and three years, and both boast exceptional pedigrees and physiques to match their Classic-winning prowess.

"Also new for 2026 is Delacroix, arguably the best-looking son of Dubawi ever to retire to stud and a fantastic racehorse out of a brilliant racemare.”

Currently in Australia are City of Troy and St Mark’s Basilica with the former dropping slightly to €60,000 for his second year, while the latter remains at €40,000 after siring his first G1 winner this year in Diamond Necklace.

Starspangledbanner has had an increase up from €45,000 to €60,000, while Camelot drops from €75,000 to €60,000.
