This colt is now fully SOLD. Please consider our other exciting ownership opportunites via the tab above.

 
We’re thrilled to announce our latest purchase from the NZB Ready To Run Sale, a St Mark’s Basilica colt out of Pride Rock for NZ$300,000.

We purchased this colt for the following reasons:

• Powerful, athletic, and well-balanced colt whose breeze stood out for its fluency, rhythm, and strong time. 
• He is very stamped by his sire St MARK'S BASILICA, who was a genuine champion and won 5 Gr1s in a row. 
• St MARK’S BASILICA’s oldest progeny in Europe are only 2-year-olds and include:  
  • Gr1 winner DIAMOND NECKLACE 
  • Gr2 winner AYLIN
  • Listed winner THESECRETADVERSARY
  • Stakes performers Princess Petrol, Rogue Supremacy, Port of Spain etc.
• The dam is a dual winning full sister to Group 1 winner LONE ROCK. 
• Fastnet Rock is the broodmare sire of 17 Group 1 winners SANTA ANA LANE, JOLIESTAR, GYTRASH, EL CASTELLO, VEIGHT, LADY OF CAMELOT etc. 

This colt comes from a superb Australian family and is related to the following top performers:

• LAISSERFAIRE
• PERSONAL
• PROCRASTINATE 
• A TIME FOR JULIA
• CENTENNIAL PARK
• FOREPLAY

This colt has an impeccable temperament, vetted cleanly, and we are delighted to get him.  

This colt will head to Segenhoe in NSW for a spell, and we anticipate he will begin his career between March and June of 2026 with champion trainer Ciaron Maher.

With the NZ dollar at a 10-year low against the AUD (according to xe.com), it’s never been a better time to buy here.
