Coolmore Australia have purchased last weekend’s Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Guest House (Home Affairs) in a big money deal rumoured to be worth around $30 million.
A son of the operation’s resident first-season sire Home Affairs (I Am Invincible), the Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr-trained colt will now race in a partnership run by Coolmore after a deal was reached with his owners, Roll The Dice, who will remain in the ownership.
Guest House will continue to sport the upwardly mobile syndicator's unique colours as part of the terms of the new deal.
Coolmore’s Tom Magnier said: “Home Affairs is a stallion that we have had such great faith in for a number of years and Guest House has been on our radar since his debut win in December. He is exactly the type of colt we strive to stand at Coolmore – a Golden Slipper winner by a brilliant young sire, with the speed and physique to make a top-class stallion.
“The Slipper remains the most important stallion-making race in Australia and he couldn’t have been any more impressive in winning it.”
Home Affairs, a son of I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit), stood his first season at stud for a fee of $110,000 (inc GST) and joined the likes of Danehill (Danzig) and Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt) in producing a Golden Slipper-winning colt from his first crop.
“The Slipper remains the most important stallion-making race in Australia and he couldn’t have been any more impressive in winning it
Magnier continued: “Some leading stallions go their whole careers without producing a Golden Slipper winner. Home Affairs’ sire I Am Invincible is a champion stallion, but is yet to produce a winner of the race.
“For Home Affairs to produce a dominant Golden Slipper-winning colt like Guest House in his first crop is extremely significant. He’s burst onto the scene in a similar way to Extreme Choice in recent years, when he produced Stay Inside to win the Golden Slipper in his first crop.”

Guest House announced himself as a future talent when breaking his maiden at Cranbourne in December, following up that win with a second-placed finish in the Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) (Gr 3, 1100m). The two-year-old then showed his Group 1 potential when making the podium in Caulfield’s Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) last month.
He landed Slipper laurels when successfully reversing the form with Streisand (Magnus), winner of the Blue Diamond, when beating that filly by 1.4 lengths at Rosehill last Saturday.
Bred by Love Racing PL, Henderson Racing and Breeding and G1G Racing and Breeding, Guest House was bought from Newgate’s draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale for $270,000 by Price, Tim Rogers Bloodstock and the Roll The Dice Racing.
This is the second big stallion acquisition for Coolmore in as many months, with the operation having paid a hefty sum to buy proven sire Super Seth (Dundeel) from leading New Zealand nursery Waikato Stud.
Bred by Torryburn Stud, Home Affairs was bought by Magnier for $875,000 at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale in 2020. He opened his account as a juvenile in the Silver Slipper (Gr 2, 1100m) and finished eighth in the Golden Slipper later that season.
He earned his own place among Australia's stallion ranks with a win in the Coolmore Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) as a three-year-old and added a second elite victory to his CV in the Black Caviar Lightning Stakes (Gr 1, 1000m).
Guest House will stand at Coolmore alongside his father and other big names including fellow Slipper winner Shinzo (Snitzel) at the conclusion of his racing career.
Home Affairs has 17 lots catalogued at the two-day Inglis Easter Yearling Sale which will get under way in Sydney on Sunday.
