Breeding rights
American Pharoah to join Coolmore roster
BY LEWIS PORTEOUS 2:55PM 20 MAY 2015
TRIPLE CROWN contender American Pharoah has become the latest high-profile acquisition by breeding giants Coolmore after it was revealed the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner will stand at Coolmore's Ashford Stud in Kentucky when he retires.
After announcing on Tuesday that he had sold American Pharoah's breeding rights after receiving an offer described as "too good to pass up", owner Ahmed Zayat confirmed Coolmore to be the successful bidders on Wednesday.
Zayat tweeted: "Proud to announce that new home of American Pharoah after he retires will be Ashford."
American Pharoah will bid to become the first US Triple Crown winner in 37 years when he contests the Belmont Stakes next month and will continue to carry the colours of his owner-breeder, who has retained the horse's racing rights.
