Originally inherited by Battle of Britain flying ace Tim Vigors in 1945, what was to become Coolmore Stud started out as a small agricultural farm. John Magnier in conjunction with his late father-in-law, the outstanding horse trainer Vincent O’ Brien, and Robert Sangster took over the 350-acre existing farm from Vigors in 1975 with the objective of creating a world class thoroughbred stallion operation.

Today, Coolmore is celebrated as a world-class thoroughbred stud farm which has a long list of champions on its past and present rosters.

Many of these champions were trained nearby in the world-famous Ballydoyle Stables, established by John Magnier’s late father-in-law Vincent O’Brien and from which Aidan O’Brien now trains.
