Coolmore Stud & Goodwood Farm Top Group 1 Vendors List For 2011/12

2nd Jul 2012

Coolmore Stud and Goodwood Farm have finished at the top of Inglis’ Group 1 Vendors List for the 2011/12 Australian racing season, having sold two individual Group 1 winners each.

In all, 17 individual Group 1 winners of 24 Group 1 races during the 2011/12 Australian racing season were sold at Inglis sales, by 15 different vendors.

“On behalf of Inglis I just want to pass on a big congratulations to all breeders and sellers of Group 1 winners in Australia this season,” said Inglis Managing Director Mark Webster.

“Coolmore Stud, led by Michael Kirwan, Peter O’Brien and Tom Magnier, are always bringing well-credentialed and superbly prepared yearlings to sale, a major reason why they appear on the Group 1 vendors list, not just this season with Niwot and Invest, but for a number of seasons with other Easter graduates such as Musir, Dariana and Absolutely.

“Kerrie Tibbie and her Goodwood Farm operation are one of many smaller studs that are growing a strong reputation for breeding quality racehorses, and it is great to see buyers from their drafts being rewarded on the track with gallopers such as Manawanui and Luckygray.

“Showcasing the depth and range of stock presented by breeders and vendors at Inglis’ sales, the 17 Group 1 winners sold by Inglis were by 16 different sires, were from ages two to seven, won over 1000m to 3200m, were victorious across every state that conducts Group 1 racing and encompasses colts, fillies, mares, geldings and entires.

“The list includes a Blue Diamond winner, Guineas winner, Oaks winner, Derby winner, World Champion Sprinter, Milers, Cox Plate winner and a Sydney Cup winner.

“We have received plenty of positive feedback for all our new Select Yearling Sale initiatives launched in the last fortnight, and with the continued support of breeders and vendors we look forward to presenting a world class range of yearlings to buyers again in 2013,” Webster said.
