BEARSTONE STUD LIMITED Competitors

Coolmore Stud is owned by John Magnier, originally from Co. Cork. Operating since the 1850’s the Magnier family has a long established tradition in the South of Ireland for standing top class National Hunt stallions (like 14-time Champion sire Deep Run). It continues to this day in Cork with top class stallions such as Flemensfirth, Milan, Getaway, Westerner, Yeats etc. Coolmore’s headquarters in Fethard, Co. Tipperary was later developed in the 1970’s in conjunction with John Magnier’s late father in law, the outstanding horse trainer Vincent O' Brien, and Robert Sangster with the objective of creating a world class stallion operation. Coolmore Stud is a global leader in thoroughbred horse racing and breeding, standing the top stallions in Europe, the USA and Australia. Horses of the calibre of Wootton Bassett, American Pharoah, Fastnet Rock, Uncle Mo and No Nay Never are among the most sought after stallions in the global bloodstock business. There are currently over 50 stallions under Coolmore management worldwide with the major Irish operation located in Fethard, County Tipperary and its two branches - Ashford Stud, which operates as Coolmore America and is based near Versailles in Kentucky, USA, and Coolmore Australia, which is based near Jerry's Plains in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Coolmore stallions have sired the winners of over 100 Group races worldwide every year since 1996.
