The first ever G1 race in Australia exclusively for fillies and older mares, the ATC Coolmore Classic (1500m) has stood the test of time and invariably the winner earns a passport to a lucrative commercial stud career and three past winners have yearlings entered for the 2026 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
While last year’s winner Lady Shenandoah is still competing at the track, her immediate predecessors have all gone to stud, so let’s take a look at where these beautiful girls are at with the business of producing babies.
2024 – Zougotcha (Zoustar)- Sold to Tom Magnier for $5.25 million at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale last year and after missing to Wootton Bassett (GB) is now in foal to I Am Invincible.
2023 Espiona (Extreme Choice )- Sold to Yulong in MM Online Virtual Sale in 2024 for $4.15million and procued a filly by Pierata last spring before being covered by Alabama Express.
2022 Lighthouse (USA) (Mizzen Mast) – Sold for $1.7million at 2022 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale to Dermot Farrington Bloodstock for Kia Ora Stud.
Her first foal is a Farnan colt that sold at Inglis Easter last year for $175,000 and her second is a filly by Anamoe to be offered at Inglis Easter this year as Lot 391 for Kia Ora Stud.
Lighthouse missed the next year and appears to now be in foal to Extreme Choice.
2021 Krone (Eurozone) – Owned by Rosemont Stud, who were in her original racing ownership group when she was racing in the Roll the Dice Racing colours and they ultimately bought out the other owners privately.
Krone has an unraced I Am Invincible 2YO colt called Mailman and her second foal is a yearling colt by Snitzel that sold for $1.2millionb at Magic Millions this year to James Harron Bloodstock Colt Partnership/Tony Fung Colts.
She produced a filly by Woottton Bassett (GB) last year before going to Switzerland.
2020 Con Te Partiro (USA) (Scat Daddy) – Imported to Australia by Newgate and partners, she won the Coolmore Classic in their colours and was exported back to the Northern Hemisphere to start her stud career.
She was passed in at the 2020 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale and bought privately not long after by Qatar Racing and sent to Tweenhills Stud in the UK.
Con Te Partiro has an unraced 4YO University (f Kameko) and following on produced a 3YO filly and 2YO colt by Frankel in subsequent years.
2019 – Dixie Blossoms (Street Sense (USA) – Remains in the ownership of her breeder Alan Osburg and her first two foals to race Al Flores and Crepe Myrtle are both winners.
She produced a colt by Dundeel last spring before going to Farnan and her yearling filly by I Am Invincible will be offered at Inglis Easter in the Torryburn Stud draft as Lot 272.
2018 – Daysee Doom (Domesday) – Purchased by Widden Stud / David Redvers Bloodstock at the 2021 Inglis Chairman’s Sale for $1.1million and her first two foals are both winners, stakes-placed Ruination and metro winner Fameux.
