Impressive first foals saw breeders send another stellar book of mares to State Of Rest in his second season at stud. Among those to support the accomplished globetrotter in 2024 were leading breeders Airlie Stud, Ballylinch Stud, China Horse Club, Epona Bloodstock, Lanwades Stud, Mountarmstrong Stud and Whisperview Trading, etc.
State Of Rest’s second book of mares boasted enviable quality, with 16 of them already proven at producing Stakes horses.16 was also the number of black-type performers sent to the four-time Gr.1 Winner in 2024, dual Graded winner and multiple Grade 1 placed Martini Glass among them. 41% of State Of Rest’s 2024 mares are daughters of Stakes performers, seven of them Group 1 winners or placed, including Finsceal Beo and Necklace.
Perhaps the most impressive statistic is that 75% are sisters of Stakes horses. They include siblings of 18 Group 1 winners in Almandin, Anmaat, Eldar Eldarov, Fasliyev, Jannah Rose, Menhoubah, Nayarra, Proctectionist, Shirocco, Signs Of Blessing, Siskin, Soviet Song, Talismanic, Thistle Bird and Zaaki etc.
This mirrors the strength in depth of State Of Rest’s first book of mares in 2023, where 19% were Stakes performers, 20% were proven black-type producers and 22% were sisters of Group 1 horses.
State of Rest has been very well received in both his seasons down under where he covered two outstanding books as befitting a winner of the stallion-making Group 1 Cox Plate whilst defeating the Southern Hemisphere’s best racehorse in Anamoe who carried 16lbs less and Horse of the Year Verry Ellegant.
