Coaraze (1942-1970) was a French thoroughbred racehorse who was imported into Brazil to stand at stud and there became a noted sire.

Background

Coaraze was bred by Marcel Boussac and foaled in 1942.

Coaraze's sire, Tourbillon, also bred by Boussac, was one of the foundation sires for Boussac's breeding program. Tourbillon was successful on the racetrack, winning 5 of 11 races, including the Prix du Jockey Club, Prix Lupin, Prix Greffulhe, and Prix Hocquart, but he primarily earned his fame as a sire. He led the French general sire list in 1940, 1942, and 1945. Notable progeny prior to Coaraze include Goya, winner of the St James's Palace Stakes and Gimcrack Stakes, Djebel, winner of the 2000 Guineas Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Cillas, winner of the Prix du Jockey Club, Prix Jacques Le Marois, and Prix Greffulhe, and Esmeralda, winner of the Prix Morny, Prix de la Forêt, and Poule d'Essai des Pouliches.

Corrida, Coaraze's dam, was very successful on the racetrack, having won the Prix Morny, Hardwicke Stakes, Grosser Preis von Reichshauptstadt, Grand International d'Ostende twice, and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice, among other victories. Coaraze was her only foal that survived to adulthood.

Coaraze was particularly closely related to Goya, who was Corrida's half-sibling and also sired by Tourbillon.

Coaraze was a bay horse with a blaze and socks on his left front and both hind feet.

Racing career

Coaraze ran from the ages of 2 to 5.

At the age of 2, he won three races, including the Prix Morny.

As a three-year-old, Coaraze raced successfully at a high level, being named the highweight of his division. He won the Prix du Jockey Club, Prix Jacques le Marois, and Prix Daphnis, ran second in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, and finished fourth in the Grand Prix de Paris and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Coaraze continued to race successfully as an older horse, winning the Prix d'Ispahan in 1946 and 1947 and the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud in 1946. He was second in the 1947 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, the 1946 and 1947 Great Yorkshire Stakes, and 1947 Coronation Cup.

Stud career

Coaraze was retired to stand stud at Boussac's Haras de Jardy as a six-year-old, in 1948. There, he sired La Mirambule, winner of the Prix Vermeille, and Canthare, winner of the Prix Jacques le Marois.

The year after he entered stud, Coaraze was advertised as being for sale in the Société d'Encouragement because he had sired too many twins in his first crop.

The idea of purchasing Coaraze for Brazilian breeding interests first came about in May 1954, on the suggestion of a representative of Boussac who was visiting the Jockey Club of São Paulo. Comparisons were made to a list of stallions available for sale in France at the time, and it was determined that Coaraze was the best on offer.

José Homem de Mello, President of the Commission of the Jockey Club of São Paulo, made contact with the Société with regards to purchasing Coaraze. The price was high, but affordable. A Brazilian representative and a French veterinarian inspected Coaraze, finding him to be sound and healthy. Coaraze was officially purchased by the Jockey Club of São Paulo for Cr$1,350,000 to stand stud at the Jockey Club of São Paulo's Posto de Monta, the first time the Jockey Club imported a stallion.

Coaraze was exported to Brazil in 1954. He began covering mares in 1955, and his first Brazilian crop was foaled in 1956.

Coaraze stood for a stud fee of Cr$50,000 for the 1960/61 season.

Coaraze was the leading sire in São Paulo in 1962 and second in 1971, and led the São Paulo broodmare sire list in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978, and was third in 1979 and 1981.

Coaraze died in 1970 at the age of 28, with his final crop being born that same year.
