4x Group 1 winner in four different countries
- Group 1 Cox Plate
- Group 1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes
- Group 1 Prix Ganay
- Grade 1 Saratoga Derby
The only horse in history to have won three consecutive Group/Grade 1 races on three different continents
Won the stallion-making Group 1 Cox Plate defeating the Southern Hemisphere's best racehorse in Anamoe who carried 7kgs less & Horse of the Year Verry Elleegant
Only the second horse in history to win the Group 1 Cox Plate/ Group 1 Prince of Wales’s stakes double – the first was So You Think, ridden to victory in the latter by Joseph O’Brien.
Rated a 122 in the World’s Best Racehorse Rankings for 2022 ahead of all Australian racehorses bar Champion Nature Strip.
“He was without question a remarkably talented, durable and consistent performer. We asked a huge amount of him throughout his career and he delivered every time.” –trainer, Joseph O’Brien, Thoroughbred Daily News August 30, 2022
“State Of Rest has now won four Group 1 races from his last five starts, seemingly becoming the first horse in the history of the Pattern to win three consecutive Group/Grade 1 races on three different continents in the process. In his victory at Royal Ascot, he produced a career-best effort to lower the colours of the highest-rated mile-and-a-quarter performer in the world in Bay Bridge. He also maintained his distinction of never having been beaten when hitting the front in a race. There are plenty of top-class racehorses trained all over the world, but I wouldn’t back a single one of them to be able to do what State Of Rest has done in the last 12 months. Mentally and physically, this horse is made of different stuff.” Kevin Blake, attheraces.com June 20, 2022
“Joseph could have played it safe and took in all of the big races in Europe. He didn't have to go to America or Australia but it just shows the belief that he had in the horse” – jockey, Shane Crosse, Thoroughbred Daily News August 30, 2022
First Foals in 2024
