Sword of State
Stud farms are circling crack colt Warwoven and the price on his head went further skyward following his victory in the G1 Caulfield Guineas.
The Bjorn Baker-trained son of our resident sire Sword Of State successfully stepped up to a mile off the back of his runaway win in the G1 Golden Rose to further lift his future stallion profile.
Warwoven loped along one off the fence in fifth spot before rider Rachel King peeled three wide before the turn and was dominant in the run home.
“He leaves me speechless, there were a few question marks and we didn’t know how he would handle this way around, but he showed his class,” said King, who posted her 10th success at the highest level.
“I’ve never sat on a horse like this before, Bjorn and his team have done an amazing job with him.”
The G1 Cox Plate now beckons Warwoven, who has now won six of his nine appearances.
“It was an incredible ride by Rachel who moved on him before the corner, he’s an outstanding colt,” stable representative Luke Hilton said.
“It’s been pretty emotional as there’s been a fair bit of pressure on with this horse.”
Warwoven was identified by Baker’s bloodstock agent Jim Clarke at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale where he was offered by breeder Kia Ora Stud and secured for A$380,000.
He is the first foal of the Makfi mare Needle And Thread, who won the G2 Royal Stakes and placed at Group 2 level in the Sir Tristram Fillies’ Classic and Eight Carat Classic and G3 Sunline Vase.

Outstanding three-year-old Warwoven prompted elite level celebrations at Cambridge Stud after the colt demolished a top-class field of age group rivals at Rosehill.
Stallion dreams were realised when he credited our resident sire Sword Of State with his first Group 1 winner following his victory romp in the Golden Rose over 1400 metres at Rosehill.
It was a sublime performance that fuelled trainer Bjorn Baker’s desire to chase top targets further afield with his stable star.
"He’s so good-looking and fast, he’s so special and it was an awesome performance,” he said.
“He's a serious horse and we are looking at the Caulfield Guineas, even the Cox Plate.
“His mother was very good at 2000 metres and he relaxed beautifully but one step at a time. It is an amazing game, racing. It is the best game in the world, and I don't say that lightly."
Warwoven was sourced by Baker’s great friend and bloodstock agent Jim Clarke at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale where he was offered by breeder Kia Ora Stud and knocked down for A$380,000.
He is the first foal of the Makfi mare Needle And Thread, who won the G2 Royal Stakes and placed at Group 2 level in the Sir Tristram Fillies’ Classic and Eight Carat Classic and G3 Sunline Vase.
Now the winner of five of his eight starts, Warwoven settled three back on the fence and once into the clear, he exploded clear to win easing down by three lengths.
"He was dominant, he's very good, we know he's very good, and it was just very satisfying for him to go out there and do that,” regular rider Rachel King said.
“There was enough tempo on, there was enough pressure and he just put his head down and relaxed and was beautiful in the run.
"We know he's got an awesome turn of foot, and I was desperate to get him up over this kind of distance and probably even further. He's proven that he's the real deal."

Iminastate has been close to the action on multiple occasions and deservedly broke through in style at Kembla Grange.
The Sword Of State three-year-old had placed in three of his six appearances for trainers Richard and Will Freedman before he put away his rivals in the hands of Keegan Latham.
Stepping up to 1600 metres for the first time, our homebred was tardily away before quickly improving to sit in behind the pace and, once clear, finished resolutely to break his maiden.
Iminastate was purchased by her trainers out of our draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale for $100,000.
She is a daughter of the More Than Ready mare Imanana, whose dam Imananabaa won the G1 Railway Handicap, and we sold Iminastate’s sister at Karaka earlier this year to Mike Breslin and InToWin Syndications for $120,000.
Due to foal again to Sword Of State, Imanana has produced a quartet of winners including Brazen Beau’s well-performed daughter Ima Brazen One.

Sword of State
- Champion New Zealand 2YO
- Multiple Group winning sprinter at three
- The ultimate 2YO - precocious, fast and an excellent temperament
Charyn is the type of horse that we should all be breeding to - sound, tough, and very, very good.
Roger Varian, trainer.
Chaldean is just a dream horse; the most professional, uncomplicated, and beautifully balanced horse we had during his time at Kingsclere.
Andrew Balding, trainer.
Sword Of State is the most exciting juvenile to come out of New Zealand since Our Maizcay and has a high Timeform rating of 115.
Gary Crispe, Timeform Australia
He was a lovely horse to train, showed his class and ability at a very early stage and was such a sound horse all the way through his career.
Kevin Ryan
I’ve always liked him, he had raw ability as a 2YO and I knew as a 3YO he would be a top-class colt
Opie Bosson
He was hands down the best 3YO in Europe in 2016 and is a top-class sire prospect
