Current roster of stallions includes Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, who could soon be joined by another Triple Crown winner. Coolmore purchased the breeding rights to Justify, the 2018 Triple Crown winner for $60 million. He will likely stand here in Kentucky, but may shuttle to other Coolmore Farms in Australia or Ireland to breed. To have 2 Triple Crown winners standing at one farm at the same time, would be almost mind boggling to think about.

Hancock established a second farm on the property of his own bride and named it Claiborne.
