City Of Troy x Northuldra colt | Born at Coolmore Stud
Dewhurst-winning European Champion 2-year-old and World Champion 3- year-old City Of Troy produced his first Australian-bred foal on the weekend, a colt out of Northuldra (Choisir) bred by Coolmore and partners.
“We have seen photos and heard glowing reports of the City Of Troy foals in Ireland for a while now,” said Justin Carey, Stud Manager.
“Our expectations of them are extremely high, so we’re delighted to produce such an impressive colt with his first foal on the farm. He’s a quality, straightforward colt, exactly what we hoped for when we bred the mare to City Of Troy. We supported him with both quantity and quality last year, so we look forward to welcoming many more of them throughout the season, but this colt has set a strong benchmark.”
City Of Troy produced a 2-year-old Timeform rating of 125p, higher than any Australian juvenile since Pierro. As a 3-year-old he won a further three Group 1’s, including beating Sea The Stars’ track record by almost a second in the Juddmonte International Stakes, defeating Calandagan. This was to be the World’s highest rated race of 2024.
