Gai Waterhouse | Gai Waterhouse Horses Available 12278 State Of Restmatronymic 24

Lot 525 is racy colt by State of Rest, an exceptionally rare international performer and an exciting first season sire prospect. State of Rest won four Group 1 races in four different countries, including the Cox Plate where he held off Anamoe with Verry Elleegant in third, and he later added elite victories in France, Royal Ascot and the United States. 

He is out of the Russian Revolution mare Matronymic, and the depth underneath is all about sharp, commercial speed. The family has repeatedly earned black type at sprint trips, and it is anchored by Fascination Street, a Listed winner over 1200 metres in New Zealand, which helps bring a quick, early running edge to match the class and toughness of State of Rest. Offered through Newgate, this colt also benefits from a nursery with a proven record of producing top level performers, including 12 Group 1 winners and 87 stakes winners raised and sold. Physically, he is well balanced with a well developed gaskin and forearm, and he has the athletic shape that suggests he will excel with us at Tulloch Lodge.
