Sword of State / Lady Rain Colt
We are very excited to share one of our Purchases from Karaka 2026. A Sword of State Colt by the Sacred Falls mare in Lady Rain. Sword of State is really making his presence felt already and was a stallion we really had earmarked to buy into at this years sales.
We loved this colt and he made our main list right from when we first found him on the days leading up to the sale. A big strong colt but with an incredible attitude, we think hes going to be a lovely three year old type as he furnishes but with the strength and style that may see him run some nice races as an Autumn two year old.
With his first yearlings creating a big impression at last year's sales, he has again been in demand this year - and little wonder with three smart winners amongst his first handful of runners.
And amongst that tally is the exciting youngster Torture, winner of the Listed Debutant stakes at his first start and a game third after finding trouble in the recent Karaka Millions 2Y0.
Also sire of the unbeaten Warwoven (scratched as hot favourite from the Magic Millions), Sword Of State (successful at six of his ten starts) has so much to offer and we are delighted to have secured this eye-catching colt from his second crop.
He is out of the unraced mare Lady Rain, daughter of the four time Gr.1 winning sprinter/miler Sacred Falls who is in the very early days of his career as a broodmare sire and what an encouraging start he has made... the Gr.3 winning two-year-old Revengeance amongst the first ten winners produced by his daughters with another three being stakes placed.
Lady Rain is out of the excellent producer Sitting On A Hill, a Gr.3 placed winner whose five winners include the stakes winners Lord Turbo and Alcadesa.
A full sister to the stakes placed eight time winner Mr Benny Hill, Sitting On A Hill is a granddaughter of the stakes placed Dee Bee Lass whose darm Darling Lass did such a great job with her ten winners.
The Gr.1 New Zealand St Leger winner Lumley Lass, the four time Group winner and the Gr.2 galloper Silver Darling were amongst her foals and she is also ancestress of the stakes winners Senator (Gr.1 Auckland Cup), Master McGinty, Mr Starstruck, Royal Sonata, Wishful Thinking, Starkay, All Over Bosanova, Super Lifeline, Mandate, Dating and Maritimo.
This colt is bred on a 3 X 4 cross of Sword Of State's superstar grandsire Redoute's Choice, a horse well and truly proving his worth as a line-breeding force with 20 of the 283 winners carrying a cross being stakes winners including the Gr.1 sprinter Schwarz.
He is also line-bred to Best In Show... one of the great modern day line-breeding influences, she is the fourth dam of Redoute's Choice and the grandam of Try My Best; the sire line from which Sacred Falls hails.
Vetted up with A plus and all costings below include insurance, Karaka Million nomination, airfreight to Australia, and NZ studbook clearance and of course with the exchange rate we have him cheaper than is down on Sale price.
He will be arriving Sunday evening and will come straight to our farm for a couple of weeks before heading to the breaking in farm.
We would love to have you involved in this very lovely NZ bred horse.
