ALTHOUGH he never raced because of an injury, Pillar Coral has a top-class pedigree and this attractive bay, standing 16.2 hands, has already had plenty of support in his first two seasons at stud.

He is located in Co Waterford, at the Kilbarry Lodge Stud of Con and Claire O’Keeffe, where he and Diamond Boy have been joined this year by Joshua Tree and Success Days. A colt foal from Pillar Coral’s first crop was bought by Aiden Murphy at the Fairyhouse November Sale last year for €13,000.
