🌟

Backed by the best Over half of Chaldean’s first crop foals are out of black type performers or producers and his current in-foal mares include the dams of recent Gr.1 winners Belle Cheval and Road To Paris.

And off to the Slipper he goes! 🏇 Warwoven stamps his class with victory in the Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes, becoming the second stakes winner for our first season sire Sword of State. Bred by @kiaorastud, Warwoven is trained by @BBakerRacing and was purchased by the stable in partnership with @ClarkeBstock for @ridgmont_ and partners.

Another masterclass from our golden girl Joliestar, securing Group 1 win number four in the Canterbury Stakes. 🌟 A cool and composed ride from @mcacajamez made all the difference, guiding Joliestar to yet another elite-level victory as she continues her exciting path toward Royal Ascot. As always, the team at @cwallerracing presented Joliestar in magnificent order, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible job they continue to do with her. 👏

Truly one of the WILDEST finishes to a game in NBA history 🔥

We couldn’t be any prouder of Jaarffi – such a talented mare and today she earned a well-deserved Gr.1 victory in the Ōtaki Māori Classic. A special congratulations to Lance Noble on securing his first Group 1 winner in our colours. It’s fantastic to see all the hard work by the staff in our racing stable rewarded on the biggest stage. A terrific result all round – and a moment to savour.

Thanks for putting Almanzor on the map!

What an incredible story for the industry. Thank you @GuerinSports for following our special colt through his journey. It’s been a weekly highlight viewing his segments for our team at @CambridgeStud. Looking forward to following his next chapter as a racehorse @cmaherracing.

Proud to have co-bred the Sword of State filly that was purchased by a brilliant judge in Phil Cataldo and the @OTIRacing selection panel. She will have every chance to succeed in the @marshracing stable. All the best of luck!

Embellish was top of the pops during book 2 at Karaka 2026. Our filly out of Queen of Wizardry landed the highest price when selling to @busuttin for $200,000. @KarakaChat

What a team!

Book 1 Sets New Benchmark at Centennial Sale 🥂 The first session at New Zealand Bloodstock’s 100th National Yearling Sale set a new benchmark, with the Book 1 Sale reaching total sales of over $79 million after two days of selling, a $3.6 million increase despite a more compact offering. 👏🏻 The Book 1 average reached a record $187,257 (14% increase), the median a record $140,000 (27% increase) and the clearance rate a solid 81%. NZB’s Managing Director Andrew Seabrook was proud of the results achieved during the first session of the milestone Sale. "The new format has seen Book 1 come back from three days to two, and despite having 94 less horses catalogued, the aggregate is up more than $3 million on last year." Fittingly, it was longstanding vendor @CambridgeStud who claimed the Leading Vendor title for the 34th time, and offered the Sale-topping yearling. Lot 513, a colt by their emerging sire Sword of State, a half-brother to multiple Group One winner #Ceolwulf (NZ), was purchased for $1.1 million by Mr Sanxiong Gao and @cmaherracing. “It tells the industry that you can turn a $15,000 service fee into a million-dollar profit, that’s really encouraging. We’re a great country, and we breed the best horses,” commented a jubilant Sir Brendan Lindsay. “It’s a moment the team are going to remember for the rest of their lives.” At the end selling, Cambridge Stud sold 50 lots for $10,640,000. “A lot of hard work goes in behind the scenes, and they are emotional. Jo and I believe in our country, everything we do is about New Zealand. “It’s the 100th anniversary of an iconic New Zealand event, and we’re a part of it.” Ciaron Maher’s bloodstock representative Will Bourne was pleased to secure the Sale-topping colt. “David Ellis is a hard guy to beat, especially here on his home deck.” “But this is a lovely horse. We got some great support from a new client, Mr Gao, we’re thrilled to have him on board. Attention now turns to Book 2 on Tuesday where the selling of lots 568 – 848 will get underway from 10am (NZT) at Karaka. Read more here 📰: nzb.co.nz/news/book-1-se…

“It’s hugely rewarding for us. There’s a heap of breeders that have done well out of the stallion.” It was a history-making day for @CambridgeStud as they sold their Sword Of State colt for $1.1 million to @cmaherracing at @KarakaChat 🇳🇿

Million dollar baby! Our Sword of State - Las Brisas colt has been a star since birth. Wishing all the best to Ciaron Maher Racing and Mr Sanxiong Gao. @cmaherracing @KarakaChat
