Coolmore Australia Fees for 2009

29th Apr 2009

Coolmore - Wednesday, 29 April 2009

Coolmore Australia is proud to announce the addition of two exciting young horses to our roster for the 2009 Australasian Breeding Season.

Henrythenavigator is a blisteringly fast Champion son of Kingmambo, making him a sensational proposition for Danehill-line mares. Joining him is Duke Of Marmalade, the dominant racehorse of the 2008 European season and a son of legendary Danehill from a family brimming with sire power. We have great expectations of this pair.

These young horses join our roster to embellish what is already a very strong line-up.

The progeny of Champion Sire Encosta De Lago (pictured) continue to enjoy unrivalled success on the race track. He has consistently proven himself the best sire in Australasia.

Our young speedster Fastnet Rock has this season taken the first steps toward emulating his own sire Danehill and with nine stakes horses from his first runners (making one in every three starters a stakes horse), has given every indication that he is capable of doing so.

Aussie Rules, Dylan Thomas, Holy Roman Emperor and Oratorio are among the best performed sons of Danehill on the racetrack and offer abundant promise of being the next generation of his great sire sons.

Danehill Dancer has time and time again shown himself to be the best performing international sire son of Danehill and has once again enjoyed an enviable year with his progeny, who have claimed 12 stakes wins during the season so far. His competitors can’t beat that!

Champion racehorse Haradasun was received with great enthusiasm by breeders in his first season at stud and we look forward with great expectations for his first foals in the Spring. As we do with Pivotal’s son Excellent Art, whose first European foals have enjoyed rave reviews from breeders.

The stock of Choisir, Dehere, Rock Of Gibraltar, Royal Academy, Spinning World and Tale Of The Cat continue to prove themselves a success on the track and in the sales ring, while Tale Of The Cat’s young sire son Lion Heart has made an encouraging start with his first runners in Australasia.

Market forces dictate that breeders must be more prudent than ever in their breeding decisions.

Be it your desire to breed a champion racehorse or to achieve outstanding return on investment during the 2012 yearling sales series, the team at Coolmore are focused on your success.
