Jockey Ryan Moore
A triumph for trainer Aidan O’Brien,

It showcased the silky skills of world-renowned jockey Ryan Moore.

Adelaide covered more ground than any other runner, made the longest run in the race and was still in front on the line.

The good news is that we should be able to enjoy Adelaide’s career unfold in front of us he will attempt to win next year’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

O’Brien, trainer for John Magnier’s global Coolmore operation, has won most of the world’s biggest races and Australia was the final frontier.

“This is a race Coolmore has wanted to win for a long time.

“It’s the Cox Plate. It’s the weight-for-age championship of Australasia.
It’s right up there with any Breeders’ Cup.


Tom Magnier
“This is the southern hemisphere’s best race.

“Audacious is a kind word. People were saying we were crazy, but it happened. A special horse and this win is right up there with the most important wins Coolmore has ever had.” O’Brien wasn’t in Melbourne to witness the win.

Coolmore Australia’s Tom Magnier said he would be delighted at the victory. "To Aidan O’Brien and all the team at Ballydoyle I’m thrilled for them,” Coolmore Australia’s Tom Magnier said. "I’m sure Aidan would be really enjoying this one.”

Adelaide was ridden by British champion Ryan Moore, who Magnier described as "the best jockey in the world”, Adelaide is a bay horse with a white star and three white socks bred in Ireland.

He was sired by champion sire Galileo .

Coolmore chief John Magnier has paid tribute to world-leading stallion Galileo, who has died at the age of 23, describing the 2001 Epsom derby winner as a horse that leaves a "lasting legacy".

He said: "It is a very sad day, but we all feel incredibly fortunate to have had Galileo here at Coolmore.

"I would like to thank the dedicated people who looked after him so well all along the way. He was always a very special horse to us and he was the first Derby winner we had in Ballydoyle in the post M V O'Brien era.

"I would also like to thank Aidan and his team for the brilliant job they did with him. The effect he is having on the breed through his sons and daughters will be a lasting legacy, and his phenomenal success really is unprecedented."
Coolmore said in a statement on Saturday: "Regretfully our world-renowned Champion Sire Galileo was put to sleep earlier today on humane grounds owing to a chronic, non-responsive, debilitating injury to the left fore foot.
