City of Troy Confirmed for Coolmore Australia- Fee Set

Media Release - Wednesday March 26

Unbeaten European Champion 2YO and three-time Group One-winning European Champion 3YO, City Of Troy (USA) will join the Coolmore Australia stallion roster in 2025 to carry on the legacy of his sire Justify.

A champion at two, an Epsom Derby winner at three, City of Troy has credentials we have never seen before in Australia.

City of Troy (USA) is coming to Coolmore Australia this spring. 

City of Troy burst on to the scene with a dominant maiden win at the Curragh in the summer of his two-year-old season. He then consolidated himself as one of the best juveniles seen in Europe this century, first in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes with a 6½-length rout, and then a hugely impressive performance in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.

When winning the Dewhurst Stakes, he recorded a Timeform Rating of 125, bettered only by Frankel this century, and higher than the likes of Shamardal, Too Darn Hot and Rock Of Gibraltar.

His dominant win came in conditions that were not see as ideal and yet he still won like a superstar.

His three-year-old season saw him achieve three more successes at the highest level, highlighted by a Juddmonte International victory where he shattered the track record set by Sea The Stars.


City of Troy (USA) stands at a fee of $49,500 inc. GST

“We are so excited to stand City Of Troy and offer him to Australasian breeders” commented Coolmore Australia’s Sales & Nominations Manager, Colm Santry.

“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.

“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.”

City Of Troy will stand at a fee of $49,500 (inc. GST).
