Outstanding racemare Atlantic Jewel has died after foaling a colt by Triple Crown winner Justify.

Coolmore’s Tom Moore told ANZ Bloodstock News: “Sadly we lost the brilliant Atlantic Jewel last night when she haemorrhaged after foaling.

“It is very sad news but she did leave behind a cracking Justify colt who is doing well.”

By champion sire Fastnet Rock, Atlantic Jewel  was the Champion 3YO Fillly of 2012 winning 10 races, four of them at Group I level.

Atlantic Jewel started her stud career in Ireland and from her first three foals to race there by Galileo produced two winners including this year’s Group III winning 3YO colt Russian Emperor.
