Caravaggio took centre stage at Coolmore’s open day, last month, as he paraded to a packed audience under ideal conditions

He is the new kid on the block at Coolmore, with a dose of scintillating speed, he was well endowed with pace, as you would imagine, as he has a proven sire line.

Caravaggio has followed a similar pattern to the great Danehill, bred in America, raced in Europe, and now on the shuttle, covering mares in both hemispheres.

He is by Scat Daddy, who was possessed with abundant speed, that pace saw him win the Belmont Champagne Group 1, and following up by going onto Gulfstream Park to win the Florida Derby.

The sire line will be in quite familiar territory, as Caravaggio grandsire, Johannesburg, stood at Coolmore at one stage, as did his sire Hennessy.

Caravaggio is already being known as “The Ballydoyle Bullet,” he was very quick in winning the Commonwealth Cup Group 1 over 1200 metres at Royal Ascot.

He is best described as Timeform’s highest rated two year old colt, in Europe, in2016, as Scat Daddy’s fastest son he won the Group2 Coventry Stakes, besides winning the Commonwealth Cup.

Caravaggio is a very exciting new addition to our breeding industry, and Coolmore are to be applauded, they have a go, where too many studs wait for it to happen.
