Fee Set for Newgate Farm's Cox Plate Winner State of Rest

Media Release - Monday March 27

Cox Plate hero and international iron horse State Of Rest has had his Southern Hemisphere fee announced at $44,000 including GST. 

State of Rest was a globetrotting four-time Group I winner!

State Of Rest was a phenomenal world-class racehorse who won prestigious Group 1s in four different countries and was the first horse in history to win three consecutive Group 1s on three different continents. 

He won a vintage Cox Plate defeating Australia’s Champion 3YO colt Anamoe and Horse of the Year and 11 time Group 1 winner Verry Elleegant as a three-year-old.

However the jewel in his crown was training on at four to win the Group 1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot defeating an exceptional line-up of heavyweight European and Japanese performers, and franking his elite global status.

“In the last twenty years Cox Plate winning three-year-olds have had an extraordinary record at stud with the likes of Savabeel, Shamus Award, and So You Think all developing into very important sires in the Australian breeding landscape,” said Newgate Managing Director Henry Field. 

“He’s a very good looking, high-quality son of leading sire Starspangledbanner out of arguably one of the best mares in Europe, Repose, who was recently purchased by international breeding powerhouse Juddmonte.”

“Most importantly, State Of Rest goes to stud with one of the finest bodies of work of any stallion to retire to stud in Australia in recent years.  He has one of the most powerful ownership groups of any stallion we have ever stood at Newgate and they will be supporting him heavily.”
