Point-To-Point Incentive Offered To NH Breeders By Coolmore

A new incentive for the 2024 breeding season was announced by the Coolmore National Hunt division on Thursday.

Any breeder of an open 4-year-old or 5-year-old only Irish point-to-point maiden during the 2024 spring season sired by a Coolmore NH stallion past or present will receive a €1,000 credit. This can be offset against any nomination to a Coolmore NH sire purchased by them for the 2024 breeding season. Breeders are entitled to receive an unlimited number of credits but only one may be used per nomination.

“Point-to-points are the grass roots of Irish racing and a nurturing ground for future stars,” said Albert Sherwood. “Our clients follow the horses they breed very closely and this gesture will hopefully provide an extra reason to celebrate if one of their graduates wins on the point-to-point field.”

For more information and the terms and conditions, please visit the Coolmore NH website.

Classic Winner Santiago to Stand Under Coolmore NH Banner

Classic winner Santiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}–Wadyhatta {GB}, by Cape Cross {Ire}) will stand under the Coolmore National Hunt banner at Castlehyde Stud in 2022. A fee for the G1 Irish Derby hero will be announced later.

“Santiago is a Derby winner with a pedigree full of Derby winners and leading sires,” said Coolmore's Cathal Murphy. “He's a big, quality individual with a fantastic action, and I'm sure National Hunt breeders will be very impressed when they see him.”

Purchased for €275,000 in utero at the Arqana July Sale in 2016, the Lynch Bages Ltd.-bred is a half-brother to two-time Group 1-placed filly La Joconde (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). A winner in three starts at two for the Coolmore partners and trainer Aidan O'Brien, the bay improved markedly at three, taking Royal Ascot's G2 Queen's Vase in June of 2020 and the Irish Derby at The Curragh just eight days later. He also ran third in the G1 Goodwood Cup in July of that year and was runner-up in the 2021 G2 Yorkshire Cup S. He sports a record of 11-3-3-1 and earnings of $714,737.

Dual Group 1 winner and veteran sire Tamayuz (GB) (Nayef) is under his stakes-placed third dam, while GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf entrant and G3 Killavullan S. hero Glounthaune (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) is out of a Nayef half-sister to his winning dam Wadyhatta. Other Group 1 winners in the family include Eshaada (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}) and Anabaa Blue (GB) (Anabaa). Santiago's fourth dam is a half-sister to breed-shaping bluehen and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe victress Urban Sea (Miswaki).

Group 1 Winner In Swoop to Stand Under Coolmore NH Banner

German Derby winner In Swoop (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}–Iota {Ger}, by Tiger Hill {Ire}), who was runner-up in the 2020 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, will stand under the Coolmore National Hunt banner in Ireland, the stud announced on Thursday. A fee will be announced later.

“In Swoop is the 19th German Derby winner owned and bred by the Von Ullmann family who also bred and raced both his German Derby-winning sire and German Oaks-winning dam,” said Coolmore's Joe Hernon who negotiated the purchase. “He's a striking horse from one of Europe's leading farms and was rated the best 3-year-old of his generation over a mile and a half. The Von Ullmann family also provided us with Getaway (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}) who has proven a resounding success with Irish breeders and we are very grateful to them.”

Bred by the Von Ullmann Family and raced in their Gestut Schlenderhan colours, the bay was third in the G2 Prix Greffulhe in only his second start and won the 2020 G1 Deutsches Derby on his third appearance last July. In Swoop was second again in September, this time in the rescheduled G1 Grand Prix de Paris before just missing in the Arc last October.

The Francis-Henri Graffard trainee made his 4-year-old bow in April, with a second in a ParisLongchamp listed affair, before adding the G3 Prix d'Hedouville and G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly in quick succession in May and June. His final race was a fourth in the G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. In Swoop was retired with a tendon injury earlier this month and had been preparing for another Arc tilt.

The eighth foal of German Oaks heroine Iota, In Swoop is a full-brother to G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern victor Ito (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}) and a half to both the New Zealand Group 3 winner Igraine (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}) and the stakes-placed Iniciar (Ger) (Galileo {Ire}).
