Coolmore Stud

Coolmore Stud, in Fethard, County Tipperary, Ireland, is headquarters of the world's largest breeding operation of thoroughbred racehorses.[1] Through its racing arm, Ballydoyle, Coolmore also has raced many classic winners and champions.[2] The operation, which is currently owned and run by the Magnier family, has been associated with a long sequence of top-class stallions since the 1850s, originally in County Cork, where stallions still stand as part of Coolmore today.

Coolmore was once home to champion sires Sadler's Wells,[3] Danehill,[4] and Galileo.[5]
