Multiple Group 1 winner will cover his first book of mares at Rathbarry Stud
Multiple Group 1 winner State Of Rest (Starspangledbanner) will cover his first book of mares at Rathbarry Stud next year for a fee of €25,000.
A four time Group 1 winner for Joseph O'Brien, State Of Rest won the Derby Invitational Stakes (9.5f) at Saratoga last year at three before he added the Cox Plate (2040m) last October. This year his Group 1 wins came in the Prix Ganay (2100m) and the Prince Of Wales's Stakes (1m2f) at Royal Ascot. He retired the winner of five of his 13 career starts.
Acclamation (royal Applause) will be the most expensive stallion to stand at Rathbarry Stud next year, with his fee remaining at €27,500 for the third consecutive year, while Kodi Bear's (Kokiac) fee also remains at its 2022 level at €15,000. The roster is completed by James Garfield (Exceed And Excel) whose fee also remains unchanged at €4,000.
