CROOM House Stud in Limerick is owned by Denis and Joan Brosnan and run with their son Cathal. The nursery has a long tradition of breeding top-class racehorses, going back to the likes of Candy Glen, Damson, Maybe and Zoffany, all Group 1 winning two-year-olds.

The farm has enjoyed a vintage 2016 and has featured already this year on these pages, with successes for the likes of dual Group 2 winner Mehmas, Group 3 winner California and listed winner Escobar. Those achievements were bettered when Quest For More won the Group 1 Prix du Cadran at Chantilly, the feature race on the Saturday card.
