George Washington has gone to stud for the 2007 season (beginning 15th February 2007) at Coolmore in Co Tipperary, Ireland.
Coolmore Stud is owned by the owners of GW - Michael Tabor and John Magnier.
His fee for 2007 has been set at €60,000 (approx £40,300) and he can be expected to cover around 100 mares in his first season.

"Gorgeous George" has indeed gone to stud at Coolmore, with hopes that he can replace his sire Danehill. "George" was talented, but also very temperamental and hot-blooded. I sure hope nobody who breeds to him is thinking of crossing Storm Cat mares with him! Not only would this be doubling up on the Northern Dancer line, but the Storm Cats are also hot-tempered. This is cross that could be a trainer's nightmare.
