Latest News
Coolmore Stud have released an interesting video through their social channels on Storm Boy as he builds up for a European campaign and no doubt a Royal Ascot tilt under Aidan O’Brien.
Coolmore have today announced via Twitter that top class Justify (USA) colt Storm Boy will be continuing his racing career in Ireland in 2025 under the care of Aidan O’Brien.
After Coolmore’s $875,000 I Am Invincible colt Home Affairs captured the Coolmore Stud Stakes in 2021, it was the turn of the $1,500,000 Snitzel colt Switzerland to do the sponsor proud in the $2,000,000 Group 1 feature at Flemington on Saturday.
Just three stallions, Zoustar, Exceed And Excel, and I Am Invincible, have sired the last six winners of the Coolmore Stud Stakes.
It’s been an intense 48 hours for Team Coolmore with two outstanding colts in the running to take their slot for this year’s $20million Everest and the decision has been announced this afternoon that Storm Boy will get the nod ahead of Switzerland.
There was a major upset in Saturday’s $3,000,000 Group 1 Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas (1600m) as the Written Tycoon colt Private Life rounded out a red-letter day for Coolmore following Switzerland’s triumph in the Roman Consul Stakes at Rosehill.
Switzerland’s return to form in Saturday’s Group II Canadian Club Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill has set Coolmore a conundrum for their slot in The Everest next week.
The most exciting thing that happened in the world of racing and bloodstock on Friday was a track gallop at a racecourse called Southwell in the UK where Epsom Derby winner City of Troy stepped out in an exhibition race against four stablemate rivals as he prepares for a tilt at the Breeders Cup Classic on November 2.
Seven talented 3-year-olds accepted for Wednesday's All Too Hard @ Vinery Stud Hcp (1300m) at Warwick Farm, and it had a promising winner with the lone colt in the race, Private Life.
Last week we ran a story highlighting the remarkable sireline that has been nurtured by Coolmore through four generations of stallions to produce their Epsom Derby winning Breeders’ Cup Classic contender City of Troy and in Australia Storm Boy is flying the sireline flag and he’s in the right stable if you believe history is a good form guide.
Coolmore’s Triple Crown winning sire Justify (USA) has the best three year-old colt in Europe in City of Troy and may well have the best three year-old colt in Australia with his exciting son Storm Boy treating his rivals with contempt in the Group III ATC San Domenico Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday.
It was all about City of Troy in the city of York overnight when the glamour three year-old Justify colt posted another exciting victory over a competitive field of 12 in the Juddmonte International Stakes (1m 2 ½ f) on a day when Coolmore owned colts dominated with Los Angeles and The Lion in Winter also winning Group races.
Last year’s Champion European 2YO Colt and this year’s Epsom Derby winner, City of Troy is a horse that carries a lot of hype wherever he goes and the show rolled into Sandown overnight for the Group I Coral Eclipse Stakes (1m2f) and he duly took the prize although a son of Wootton Bassett made him earn it.
Hailed as possibly the greatest colt of all time to emerge from Ballydoyle under the care of Aidan O’Brien following his undefeated juvenile season, City of Troy had his reputation tarnished with an unplaced return in the Group I Newmarket 2000 Guineas, but the Justify colt was back in business at Epsom.
Backed as if unbeatable when fourth on debut at Canterbury, Private Life defied a betting drift when opening his winning account in Wednesday's Hyland Race Colours Maiden Hcp (1100m) at Warick Farm so impressively, Chris Waller has tagged him a Guineas horse.
The Launceston Cup is shaping as an important lead-up to the Adelaide Cup. Last year Aurora's Symphony won the Tasmanian feature before being edged out by Rebel Racer in the Cup. This year's Launceston Cup hero Excelleration went one better in Monday's $350,000 Tab Adelaide Cup (3200m) at Morphettville.
Coolmore looks to have a stranglehold on the Golden Slipper after Switzerland announced himself a genuine threat to the favourite Storm Boy when downing a top-class field in Saturday’s Group II UNSW Todman Stakes (1200m) at Randwick.
Champion mare Seachange was a flagship performer for The Oaks Stud and her legacy continues to be felt on both sides of the Tasman.
Super talented Justify (USA) colt Storm Boy is a hot favourite for the Golden Slipper and the powerhouse bay justified the lofty opinion of punters when cruising to victory in the $300,000 Group II ATC Skyline Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday.
