Things To Do
Tour of Thoroughbred race horse farm Ashford Stud at Coolmore America Friday or Saturday at 11am
Ashford Stud, owned by John Magnier and located in the heart of Kentucky’s famous Bluegrass, is Coolmore’s home in America. Just like our farm in Ireland is usually referred to as the Home of Champions, Ashford is home to some of the best young sires in America. The stallion roster is led by record breaking young sire Uncle Mo and Triple Crown winners American Pharoah and Justify. With a selection of the best proven sires and young sire prospects America has to offer standing alongside this illustrious pair, it’s safe to say Ashford’s iconic stallion barns will continue to house influential breed shapers for years to come. *** PLEASE RSVP TO staceytarani@gmail.com if you plan to attend either of these 11am tours so we can have an idea of numbers. This is a complimentary tour.
