Triple Crown hero Justify enjoyed ground breaking success in 2023 and 2024 has started in spectacular fashion with the emergence of undefeated Australian 2YO colt Storm Boy and in the US, Coolmore have come up with a novel way to recognize his achievements with a unique opportunity for breeders.
To celebrate his phenomenal year in 2023, four draws will take place on April 26 in the US whereby four no-guarantee nominations to Justify will be won.
Breeders who have booked mares to Corniche, Epicenter, Jack Christopher or Tiz the Law will all be eligible with a separate draw for each of the four stallions.
“Justify has enjoyed a sensational year,” said Coolmore’s Charlie O’Connor.
“He’s the first sire in North America since Mr Prospector to sire four Grade 1-winning juveniles in a single season. His two Breeders’ Cup winners are amongst the three finalists for Champion Two-Year-Old Filly at the upcoming Eclipse Awards, City of Troy and Opera Singer have been crowned European Champion 2YO Colt and European Champion 2YO Filly, while Ramatuelle was the highest-rated 2YO trained in France.
“And if all that’s not enough, he was also Champion First Crop Sire in Australia. We think THE JUSTIFY 4 concept is a novel idea which is sure to catch the imagination of breeders given four seasons to this great stallion are up for grabs.”
Justify is back in Kentucky after covering 188 mares in Australia last spring at a fee of $77,000
