As a horse who successfully competed and won at Group 1 level in multiple countries, State Of Rest brings adaptability and durability that are highly prized in modern racing. Blueblood owners follow each stage of development watching yearlings mature physically and mentally before stepping through the grades.
By combining State Of Rest’s elite genetics with Blueblood’s trainer relationships and strategic race placement, we aim to produce horses capable of competing in Australia’s premier middle-distance and classic-style races.
State Of Rest’s Group 1 victories across different racing jurisdictions underline his exceptional class and versatility. His record provides strong genetic credibility for producing racehorses capable of adapting to varying tracks, conditions, and race tempos.

Blueblood works closely with trainers to carefully program State Of Rest runners. Campaigns are built patiently, targeting suitable distances and race grades that allow confidence, fitness, and performance to progress naturally.

Hi Carol, Just wanted to say thanks for yesterday with Zero Doubt. To get a Saturday city winner with my first horse at my favourite track with my favourite jockey on was a truly memorable day!
Customer
Hi David,
Thanks to Blueblood Thoroughbreds, Michael Costa, and all concerned for the detailed communication with syndicate owners.
Ownership today is far more exciting and accessible than it was 20 years ago. I truly appreciate being part of this journey, even in a small way.
Customer
This is probably the most gratifying win I have ever been involved in. I said originally I would have been happy just to see Denman Flyer returned to health – two wins and a second are beyond expectations.
Congratulations again to you and Carol for showing faith in the horse and the owners and for placing him in such great hands.
Founder
Having purchased shares in 3 x yearlings that have all gone on to be multiple winners—Rock Temple, Black Revolver, and Lonnero—we can attest that Blueblood Thoroughbreds know what they’re doing when it comes to yearling selection.
The level of communication and engagement with syndication members is exceptional. If anyone is thinking of racing young horses, especially those new to racing, you should seriously consider racing with Blueblood.
Customer
This is probably the most gratifying win I have ever been involved in. I said originally I would have been happy just to see Denman Flyer returned to health – two wins and a second are beyond expectations.

Hi Carol,
I bought this share on my 57th wedding anniversary. On True Kisses’ right shoulder is my birth year 33 and on the left shoulder is my wife’s initials, DP – Doreen Phyllis. What are the odds?
Customer
Hi David,
Thank you for your introduction and latest update. Super quick response as I only came on board this morning – much appreciated. This is my first venture into ownership, and already I feel confident I’ve chosen a very professional outfit in Blueblood.
Looking forward to the journey – and hopefully meeting you, Carol, and the other owners in the winner’s circle!
