American Pharoah Leads the Way

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 4

If you had the impression Coolmore's Triple Crown winner American Pharoah (USA) had been going well of late, you would be right as he currently leads the first season sires list for all sires based in North America.

His success has been split between both North America and Europe with his stakes-winners also split between both regions highlighting the versatility of his stock, which have proven in some cases surprisingly precocious, although let's not forget American Pharaoh was a Champion 2YO before he was a Triple Crown hero!

The first American Pharoah Aussie bred offspring will be offered at sales in 2020 and he is in Australia now for his third season at Coolmore at a fee of $66,000.
