COTAI GLORY
PROFILE​​
​
SIRE OF G1 WINNERS THE
PLATINUM QUEEN & EXCELLENT TRUTH
​
Cotai Glory is a commercial breeder's dream.
​
By Champion sire of 2YOs and sprinters Exceed And Excel, Cotai Glory was a tough, consistent performer. He captured the G3 Molecomb Stakes at two and trained on to win the G3 World Trophy at three, showcasing blistering speed throughout his career. At the top level, he was narrowly denied in the G1 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot and twice placed in the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
Making an immediate impact at stud, Cotai Glory was crowned Champion First-Season Sire of 2021. His first crop featured standout performers like ATOMIC FORCE (G2 Prix Robert Papin winner) and ELDRICKJONES (G2 Coventry Stakes runner-up)
His second crop again put his name in lights, with THE PLATINUM QUEEN becoming the first 2YO since 1978 to win the all-aged G1 Prix de l'Abbaye. She later sold for 1,200,000gns to Katsumi Yoshida.
Cotai Glory is enjoying another strong season in 2025 with top-class older mare EXCELLENT TRUTH (sold for €1.6 million at the Arqana December Sale) winning the Grade 1 Diana Stakes at Saratoga, while his juveniles already include four blacktype performers – behind only Wootton Bassett, Starman, Havana Grey and Mehmas!

"She was such a fast horse. She’s one of the best two-year-olds in the world,
and that was attractive to us.”
Shingo Hashimoto, representative of Northern Farm after buying THE PLATINUM QUEEN for 1,200,000gns
