Coolmore has announced it will shuttle first-season stallions Calyx and Magna Grecia to Australia for the 2020 season.
Magna Grecia and Calyx both stood their first season at €22,500 when standing at Coolmore in Ireland this year.
Magna Grecia (pictured) will be the seventh son of Invincible Spirit to stand at stud in Australia.
Winner of the 2,000 Guineas last year as well as the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster as a two-year-old, he is one of three winners of Newmarket’s Classic to join the Coolmore line-up this year, alongside Churchill and Saxon Warrior.
A son of Kingman, Calyx (pictured below) won his first three races, notably the Gr2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Coolmore sales and nominations manager Colm Santry said in a statement he had inspected both horses earlier this year.
“I inspected both horses in Ireland a few months ago and they’re very good lookers. Both are strong individuals with impressive walks,” Santry said.
“They’re both top-class racehorses from the red-hot Invincible Spirit sire line and are both out of Group winning juveniles.
“In fact Calyx is the fastest son of Kingman, while Magna Grecia is the only son of Invincible Spirit to be a Group 1 winner at two and three.
