Coolmore has announced its roster for its National Hunt stallions in 2024, including newcomers Hurricane Lane, Pyledriver and Bolshoi Ballet.
Hurricane Lane, a triple Group 1 winner and dual Classic hero by Frankel, has been introduced to breeders at Grange Stud for €6,000, while the popular King George and Coronation Cup victor Pyledriver has been opened up at The Beeches Stud for €4,000.
Fellow newcomer and the newest Beeches resident Bolshoi Ballet, a dual American Grade 1 winner by Galileo, has been priced up at €3,000.

World champion and Prince of Wales's Stakes winner Crystal Ocean remains steady at a fee of €8,000, as does the promising Order Of St George at €6,500, the two highest-priced advertised fees on the roster. Irish Derby hero Santiago, whose first crop of foals proved popular this term, has had an increase to €5,000 (from €4,000).
Others with fee adjustments are Getaway (€5,000 from €7,000), Vadamos (€5,000 from €6,000), In Swoop (€3,500 from €4,000), Mahler (
