"He stood out as great value, by an emerging young sire, and he’s very much in the mould of Sword of State’s early winners."

We are thrilled to have secured this strong colt from the outstanding and prolific Cambridge Stud.

This colt is by Sword of State, New Zealand’s champion two-year-old and a multiple Group winner—including the Group 1 Sistema Stakes at two and a Group win again at three. Sword of State is off to a remarkable start at stud, from his first crop of just 79 foals, he has already produced 3 winners from only 9 runners, including the stakes-winning filly Torture (winner of the MRC Debutant Stakes and recent placegetter in the 2YO Karaka Millions). He is also the sire of the exciting Warwoven, who remains undefeated in two starts and is quickly emerging as one of Australia’s leading juveniles. Sword of State is by the influential Snitzel, out of the Encosta De Lago mare In The Vanguard, representing a pedigree loaded with speed, true class, and emerging sire potential.

This colt offers a full outcross, being out of the Street Cry mare Prose Poem—a sister to stakes winner Fencing and half-sister to multiple European stakes winner Mirsky. His deep female line traces back to Latice, champion three-year-old filly in France and Group 1 Prix de Diane winner, as well as Lawman, sire of Group 2 winner Libran in Australia.

Physically, this colt impresses with great bone, strength, and a compact, athletic build. He features a classic sprinter’s head, powerful hindquarters, and all the hallmarks of a precocious colt.
