Nestled in a quiet part of county Tipperary, Coolmore Stud casts a long shadow over the story of Irish sport. Founded by the legendary horse trainer Vincent O'Brien, and now managed by John Magnier, Coolmore has grown from a small breeding farm into a global behemoth revnowned the world over for the quality of the horses it produces. Alan Conway tells the story of how Coolmore Stud and its training operation at Ballydoyle have come to dominate the world of horse breeding and racing.
