Racing: George Washington will stand at Coolmore Stud for a fee of €60,000 in 2007, his first season as a stallion.

The three-year-old colt, trained by Aidan O'Brien, cost 1,150,000 guineas as a yearling, and was a top performer over a mile, winning the 2000 Guineas and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

But he could not end his racing days on a high as he was only sixth in the Breeders' Cup Class at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

There are three other additions to the Coolmore roster in County Tipperary, all of whom were in action at the weekend.
