Luxembourg to stand under the Coolmore National Hunt banner

Coolmore Stud are pleased to announce that Luxembourg, the Group 1-winning 2, 3, 4 and 5-year-old son of Camelot will join the National Hunt Sire’s division for the upcoming 2025 season.

Unbeaten at 2, Luxembourg was installed as winter favourite for the Epsom Derby following his smooth victory in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity Stakes. He ran a hugely promising third in the Gr.1 2,000 Guineas behind the season’s leading milers Coroebus and Native Trail but sustained an injury which saw him miss his Epsom engagement. However, he finished the season in style defying Gr.1 winners, Onesto, Vadeni, Mishriff, Alenquer and Broome to win the Gr.1 Irish Champion Stakes.

In all, Luxembourg contested 19 races with further highlights coming in the Gr.1 Tattersalls Gold Cup over 1m2f and the Gr.1 Coronation Cup over 1m4f earlier this year. “He is a very serious horse,” commented his trainer Aidan O’Brien after the Epsom success. “He is tough and has loads of class.”
