Only 20% available

 
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.
