Coolmore has failed here with a great many superstar Euro turf horses.

Frankel's sire Galileo was an absolute monster on the turf in Europe -- at least he sort of fired here on the dirt ...



Fantastic Light nipped him in the Irish Champions and crushed the field in the BC Turf that year.

A lot of the Coolmore's performed disastrously on dirt. Dylan Thomas (Arc winner) got beat about 45 lengths by Bernardini in the Jockey Club Gold Cup without a visible excuse. Hawk Wing was miserable, etc etc.
