We were delighted to buy the State Of Rest filly out of Majestic Alexander at Tattersalls Book 1 recently. She is a strong, well made filly who looks like she will be a two year old and is a very good advertisement for her young sire.’
William Haggas
Filly by State Of Rest x Majestic Alexander, consigned by Mountarmstrong Stud and purchased by Hurworth Bloodstock for 300,000 Gns at the 2025 Tattersalls Book 1
She’s a very nice filly and was certainly on everybody’s list. She has a very nice page and I’m quite keen on the sire. I’ve been impressed by the stock I’ve seen of his: I bought a very nice colt by him on day one of Book 1 here on Monday. I have a good feeling about the stallion.’
