Youngest mare on the list is Galileo’s imported Irish bred mare Atlantic Emerald (IRE)(foaled 2018), an unraced daughter of Champion Australian 3YO Filly Atlantic Jewel and the oldest is Hips Don’t Lie (NZ) (foaled 2005), a proven stakes producer.

Australian bred mares dominated with only Atlantic Emerald (IRE) and Coco as in Chanel (USA) foaled in the Northern Hemisphere.

Four mares on the list are in foal to Justify (USA) anda further four will have yearlings for next year by Home Affairs. 

There is also one mother and daughter duo  in Arrowfield based The Broke Shore and Tides.

Booker is shaping as en exceptional producer for Coolmore.
