City Of Troy to Shuttle to Coolmore Australia

[Wandering Eyes]

City Of Troy, the co-top-rated racehorse in the world in 2024, will shuttle to Coolmore's Australian base in the Hunter Valley for the southern hemisphere season. The son of Justify will stand for a fee of A$49,500.

European champion at two and three, City Of Troy's unbeaten juvenile campaign ended with victory in the Dewhurst Stakes and he went on to win the Derby, Eclipse and Juddmonte International the following year to take his tally of Group 1 victories to four.

Coolmore Australia's sales and nominations manager Colm Santry said, “We are so excited to stand City Of Troy and offer him to Australasian breeders. Aidan O'Brien always considered him to be one of the best horses he has ever trained, while Ryan Moore also ranks him as the best he's ridden. He was an incredibly classy horse with a high cruising speed, as we saw so impressively in his three runs at two which he won by an aggregate margin of more than 12 lengths. He is by far the best son of Justify with an impeccable Danehill-free pedigree that makes him suitable to all the dominant bloodlines in this part of the world.”

He added, “His unbelievable accomplishments on the track saw him become the only horse other than Frankel to receive the Cartier Two-Year-Old Colt and the Cartier Horse Of The Year accolade in successive years. This is a horse with very rare ability and he's out of a Group 1-winning two-year-old by Galileo, so given how well the shuttle stallions are performing in Australia at present, he's a very exciting addition to our stallion ranks.”
