Ireland’s
Coolmore Stud has released an imposing list of mares booked to be serevd by
Group One winners and potential shuttle sires Rock Of Gibraltar and Golan in
their first northern hemisphere stud season.
Rock Of Gibraltar, Danehill’s seven time G1 winner, was acclaimed the world

decision has been rewarded with a book of mares that includes eight G1 winners,

Among the G1 winners are Irish 1000 Guineas heroines Marling, Trusted Partner,
Hula Angel and Tarascon and the international performers Borgia and Terre A
Terre.
Toujours Juste, the dam of Terre A Terre, features among the mares to have
already produced G1 winners.
Ohers include the dams of shuttle sires Desert Prince and Desert King, Lady Of
Chad, Dress To Thrill, Dark Moondancer and top stayer Persian Punch.
Golan, whose dam Highland Gift is going to Rock Of Gibraltar, will also cover a
number of high cvlass mares befitting winner of the 2000 Guineas and King George
VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes.
Golan’s mares include G1 Prix de l'Abbaye winner Imperial Beauty and Pipalong,
successful in the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup, Mona Sella, Legend Maker, Aim For The
Top, Pourquoi Pas, Isle de France, Goncharova and Germane.
