The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt's career didn't have the fairytale ending his connections had hoped for when finishing a disappointing eighth in the Breeders' Cup Classic last weekend
Epsom Derby winner City of Troy will stand at stud for a €75,000 cover fee after retiring from racing.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt's career didn't have the fairytale ending his connections had hoped for when finishing a disappointing eighth in the Breeders' Cup Classic last weekend.
But after winning four Group Ones this season - the Epsom Derby, the Dewhurst Stakes, the International Stakes at York and the Eclipse - the son of Justify promises to be an in-demand stallion.

City of Troy is one of three additions to the Coolmore roster for 2025, joining 2023 Derby winner Auguste Rodin, who will have a fee of €30,000, and Henry Longfellow, who has been introduced at €75,000.
Speaking of Henry Longfellow, Coolmore's director of sales, David O’Loughlin, said: “He went unbeaten in three starts at two years, including the Group 1 National Stakes, just like his sire Dubawi,
“He again showed top class form at three over a mile when beaten just a neck by Rosallion in the St James’s Palace Stakes.

"He’s arguably the best-looking son of Dubawi to go to stud and he’s out of one of the best Galileo racemares ever. I have no doubt that he will prove extremely popular with breeders.”
