Golden Slipper winner Vancouver will reverse shuttle from Coolmore Australia to Coolmore's US branch at Ashford Stud in Kentucky for the 2017 breeding season.

Bred by Fairway Thoroughbreds and trained by Gai Waterhouse, he is out of the Listed-placed Danehill mare Skates and is a half-brother to the Grade 1-winning sprinter Juste Moment.
