Legendary Irish trainer Jim Bolger has listed his Glebe House stables for €4 million recently. The sale is being handled by Jordan Auctioneers.
The 150-acre Coolcullen training facility holds 158 stables, while the main residence dates back to 1760. In addition, there are three gallops (turf, sand/fibre, and woodchip) on the property. Also included in the listing are veterinary facilities and staff accommodations.
Bolger, who is in his 80s, sold his Redmondstown Stud last year and has been downsizing his bloodstock operation for the past several years. The multiple champion trainer has trained out of Glebe House since 1982 and has sent out approximately 2,900 winners.
Among his greatest horses were St Jovite, New Approach, Teofilo, Dawn Approach, Trading Leather, and recent G1 2000 Guineas/G1 St James's Palace Stakes hero Poetic Flare. The latter, at stud in Japan, is already the sire of multiple group winner Realize Sirius from his first crop of three-year-olds.
