Trio Of Group 1 Winners Set To Join Coolmore Ireland Roster For 2018

Group/Grade 1 winners Highland Reel, Caravaggio and Churchill will be a trio of talented new recruits to Coolmore Ireland next year, and the farm has released 2018 covering fees for its stallion roster.

Caravaggio, a son of Scat Daddy, will stand for a fee of €35,000; Highland Reel and Churchill, both sons of Galileo, won’t have their fees set until after the Breeders’ Cup.

“We are delighted to have three very exciting new prospects for the coming season and are very much looking forward to seeing Churchill and Highland Reel run at the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday,” said David O’Loughlin, Coolmore’s Director of Sales.

“Mindful of the fact that breeders are keen to get on with their mating plans we have set the fees for all of the others including Scat Daddy’s brilliantly fast son Caravaggio and we think they offer excellent value for money.”
