Coolmore Australia is delighted to announce the acquisition of Home Affairs’ outstanding son Guest House, following his electrifying victory in the Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill last weekend.
Guest House stamped himself as the best two-year-old of his generation with an eye-catching performance in Australia’s premier two-year-old race. From the first crop of Coolmore’s own champion sprinter Home Affairs, Guest House’s triumph further enhances the reputation of his sire, who joined the likes of Extreme Choice and Danehill by producing a Golden Slipper winning colt from his first crop.
Brilliantly managed by trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr., Guest House burst on the scene with a strong win in December, before running an unlucky placing in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes.
Trainer Mick Price paid tribute to him, commenting “He’s been a special colt from day one. He has an abundance of natural speed, just like his sire, and to see him deliver like that in a Golden Slipper is incredibly rewarding. We’re delighted to see him secure his future at stud at Coolmore to stand alongside his own very exciting young sire.”
Coolmore Australia’s Tom Magnier was quick to underline the significance of securing the colt, stating, “Home Affairs is a stallion that we have had such great faith in for a number of years and Guest House has been on our radar since his debut win in December. He is exactly the type of colt we strive to stand at Coolmore – a Golden Slipper winner by a brilliant young sire, with the speed and physique to make a top-class stallion. The Slipper remains the most important stallion-making race in Australia and he couldn’t have been any more impressive in winning it.”
Roll The Dice Racing and the existing owners will continue his racing career with Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. before he ultimately retires to Coolmore Australia.
