The Sire: Sword of State
Sword of State has wasted no time making his presence felt.
In Australia, he is already represented by Warhoven, one of the leading two-year-olds of the season and a genuine Golden Slipper contender, along with Torture, a Melbourne stakes winner who was an unlucky third in the Karaka Millions after losing a winker during the running.
Commercially, demand for his stock has been strong. His Sword of State – La Brisas colt topped the sale at $1.1 million off a $15,000 service fee, a clear indicator of market confidence. If this trajectory continues, it would not be surprising to see Sword of State standing for a significantly higher fee in the near future.
On the racetrack, Sword of State himself was a high-class performer, notably defeating elite mares such as Imperatriz and Babylon Berlin as a three-year-old, while carrying 60.5kg against Imperatriz. That profile strongly suggests his progeny should continue to improve with time, particularly into their three-year-old seasons.
The Te Akau Factor
Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson were an obvious choice for this filly. As leaders of a champion stable, Te Akau offers unparalleled flexibility, operating seamlessly across the North and South Islands of New Zealand, as well as Melbourne.
