Coolmore's New Website

[georgewashington]

If you have not had a chance to look at this you should. It is truly remarkable what these guys do. Always a step ahead of everyone.
The video is excellent. I know some here hate Garret Gomez so the Aussie Rules montage might make you a little sick. I do love how the announcer over in europe says "got the prize".

The Aussie Rules video is great. It is worth watching just to see the video angle they have on him.

thanks, but those of us who have been here before today already saw this info on the international racing part of the board.

I would guess about 10-20% of the people here read the International Board. Coolmore is not just International. Ashford is American. Last time I looked it was in Versailles, KY, not Versailles France.

Its a great website, I found myself unable to leave it when I went there, great stuff for sure.
But since you know so much I'm wondering how you could blow the prediction on a stud fee so badly, I mean 100 grand after saying 250-300 grand? Geez, don't call us, we'll call you.

His loss to Invasor cost him about $150K per. A win was going to start him at $250K. At the Keeneland sale many felt he was still going to $150K. Mineshaft and the reduction in Ghostzapper left them in a little bind. That operation is not exactly in it for the money though and I would imagine the lower fee is to attract the top mares.

Had he won and been Horse of the Year, $250K was the fee. Not sure where I said this anyway. He isn't my horse and I don't set the fee. I don't have any broodmares of that quality anyway.

Dehere has always been one of my favorite stallions and now a favorite broodmare sire... watch his clips. How he's not remembered as one of the most explosive 2yo's ever is beyond me. He was brilliant as a juvenile.
