A Champion 2YO in New Zealand, Sword Of State showcased outstanding speed and class in a dominant juvenile season, highlighted by his Group 1 Diamond Stakes victory and three additional Group wins over 1100–1200m. A son of the elite Snitzel and from a family rich in Group 1 performers and producers, he brings together pedigree strength and raw pace. His first runners have already made an impression, led by Listed MRC Debutant Stakes winner and recent Karaka Millions 2YO placegetter Torture, pointing to the precocity and sharp turn of foot he’s passing on. Standing at Cambridge Stud, Sword Of State’s oldest progeny are now two-year-olds.

From a family known for producing early, durable winners, Choctoc has made a perfect start to her broodmare career. A 1200m winner in New Zealand by Shamexpress, she is already two-from-two at stud, with both of her first foals successful in Hong Kong and Australia. She is a half-sister to multiple stakes performer Lil Miss Swiss and descends from a line recognised for soundness, speed, and consistency. With her third foal yet to race, there is every indication this young mare still has more to offer.

One of Australasia’s most respected thoroughbred nurseries, Cambridge Stud carries a proud legacy of producing elite racehorses for both the racetrack and the sales ring. Located in the heart of New Zealand’s breeding country, the farm pairs outstanding facilities with deep pedigree knowledge and meticulous horsemanship. Home to a strong roster of stallions and backed by generations of experience, Cambridge Stud continues to be a reliable source of quality, consistently presenting horses capable of performing at the highest level across jurisdictions and distances.
