Fresh from a week of spectacular sale ring success with Triple Crown hero American Pharoah at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, Coolmore have confirmed this year's unbeaten Triple Crown winner Justify will also join their stallion roster for 2019.
The four time
Grade 1 winning son of Scat Daddy will stand at Ashford Stud in Kentucky.
"Justify was a truly exceptional racehorse," said Manager Dermot Ryan. "There
is a reason only thirteen horses have won the Triple Crown, it takes an
extraordinary horse to achieve such a difficult feat.
It is such a privilege to be around greatness, and to have the best son of the
much missed Scat Daddy standing here is fantastic. His sons have made an
immediate impact at stud, and Justify has all the right credentials to continue
Scat Daddy's legacy. He is just breathtaking to look at, an outstanding
individual and fantastic mover, he's got everything you look for in a stallion."
"We are thankful to everyone involved with Justify, and are excited to have him
at Coolmore," said M.V. Magnier, "It is an amazing achievement for Bob Baffert
and his team to have developed the career of two Triple Crown winners in just 4
years.
"American Pharoah's first crop of yearlings are outstanding and have been very
well received by the market, I am in no doubt that Justify will prove equally successful."
A fee will be set for Justify at a later date.
