Anad First Winner For State Of Rest At Wolverhampton

Rathbarry Stud have not had too long to wait for the first winner for their first-season sire State Of Rest as Anad scored on debut at Wolverhampton on Friday.

Sent off the 2-1 favourite for the extended seven-furlong fillies' novice, the Karl Burke-trained €150,000 Goffs Orby Book 2 topper raced in rear throughout the early stages.

Sent forward by Clifford Lee on the home turn, Alanood Althani's colour-bearer was notably green after hitting the front a furlong out but firmly in command as she registered a head verdict over Shadwell's Mohaymenah by their first-crop sire Minzaal. There was another 3 1/2 lengths back to Angel Sense (Harry Angel) in third.

State Of Rest, who is set to continue the success story that is Starspangledbanner, stands for a fee of €15,000.

Nice performance!
