Blueblood Mares Produce Blueblood Foals!

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 17

Coolmore have made some high profile broodmare purchases in recent years that have delivered some stellar results in the sale ring and the arrival of a couple of foal images to the Breednet Foal Gallery will have the sales companies salivating ahead of the 2027 yearling sales!

Dual Group I winning mare Shout the Bar has already produced sale ring gold with her first foal, a colt by Home Affairs topping the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale this year when selling for $3million to Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott / Kestrel Thoroughbreds.

Shout the Bar was trained by Waterhouse and Bott winning the Group I ATC Vinery Stud Stakes and VRC Empire Rose Stakes before being offered at the 2022 Inglis Chairman’s Sale where she was bought by Tom Magnier for $2.7million.

By champion sire Not a Single Doubt, from a quality New Zealand female family, Shout the Bar missed in her second season at stud which earned her a trip to Kentucky last year to be covered by Justify at Coolmore’s US base of Ashford Stud.

The result of that mating is a handsome bay colt born last month just before the stallion parades.

Purchased last year from the Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $1.6million, Autumn Ballet was chosen for an outside cover last year after the sale and sent to the reigning champion sire Zoustar at Widden Stud.

She produced this lovely colt last month.
