‘Behind the Gates’: Take a Closer Look at Coolmore Stud

Coolmore Stud, one of the world’s leading breeders of Thoroughbred racehorses, is taking us on a backstage tour of the operation through its “Behind the Gates” video series. Take a look here!

The breeder of noted influential sires including Sadler’s Wells, Danehill and Galileo, Coolmore has become an industry leader and a byword for quality bloodstock all over the world.
