Repose (Quiet American), the dam of last year's G1 Cox Plate and GI Saratoga Derby Invitational winner State Of Rest (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), will visit champion sire Frankel (GB) this year, owner Dermot Cantillon told the TDN. The 10-year-old mare is in foal to Sea The Stars (Ire) and is due to foal soon.
State Of Rest is the second foal out of Repose, and he was bought by Diamond Bloodstock for 45,000gns as a foal before being pinhooked for 60,000gns when purchased as a yearling by Aiden O'Ryan and Joseph O'Brien. He started out racing for the Long Wait Partnership before being bought privately by Teme Valley Racing. State Of Rest ran just three times last year but made of the most of his opportunities; after finishing third in The Curragh's Listed Celebration S. on June 26, he shipped to New York to win the Saratoga Derby. He traveled to Australia off 77 days' rest, but made it a Group 1 double when besting the G1 Caulfield Guineas winner Anamoe (Aus) (Street Boss) by a short head.
Teme Valley also races Repose's 3-year-old filly Tranquil Lady (Ire) (Australia {GB}), who broke her maiden at second asking in September before finishing second in the Listed Staffordstown Stud S. Repose has a newly turned 2-year-old filly by Dandy Man (Ire) who was bought by American trainer Tony Dutrow for €180,000 at Goffs Orby, and she was rested for 2021 before being covered by Sea The Stars.
