Miss Divine Em ran 3rd at Flem. y/day, out of a SOL mare & whilst I've always taken an interest in his stock, many avoided them due to temperament issues.
Summary: 7-3:1:2    Prizemoney: $143,663 

Hay List would have been his best?

Summary: 28-15:6:0    Prizemoney: $2,559,575

Sun sets on Statue Of Liberty's wonderful career
Breednet - Thursday October 4
Statue Of Liberty, a stallion much loved by Victorian breeders, has been retired to live out his days at Sun Stud headquarters at Kerrie in the Macedon Ranges.

Statue Of Liberty

Statue Of Liberty

The proven sire, a brilliant speed source, is perhaps most famously known as the sire of the triple Group 1 winner (and five-time runner up) Hay List.

Originally shuttling from Japan's East Stud on behalf of Syndicate Manager Mr Nakajima to the former Eliza Park, he was a real boost at the time for the Victorian thoroughbred industry.

He stood in Australia for 12 seasons from 2004, albeit with breeding duties at Eliza Park interrupted in 2007 due to travel restrictions brought about by the Equine Influenza crisis.

His first two crops made every post a winner. They included 2009 Magic Millions 3YO Trophy winner Tempest Tost, Group winner Dan Baroness, juvenile stakes winner Elysees, multiple Group winning sprinter Mic Mac and the aforementioned champion sprinter Hay List.

Statue of Liberty was among the top five leading first season sires in Australia in 2008/2009 and was leading such sire in Victoria that racing season.

Mark Lindsay, Senior Sales and Nominations Manager at Sun Stud recalls how thrilled they were to get a stallion of his calibre.

"He was versatile too with Group winners from 1000 metres to 2400 metres and, quite remarkably, ended up with winners in twenty different countries!"

"Despite ending up with a Perth Cup winner like Star Exhibit, he was best known for his sprinters such as Mic Mac and, of course, Hay List who would have ended up with a whole lot more Group Ones except for running into Black Caviar on several occasions."

"He has certainly made a lot of breeders and owners happy over the years and he is also making his presence felt as a broodmare sire, so I'd imagine you'll still be hearing about Statue of Liberty for some time to come."

A son of the legendary Storm Cat, he provided a tremendous outcross for Danehill mares for breeders around the country.

"He has one of the best pedigrees in the Australian Stud Book being out of the Seattle Slew mare Charming Lassie, and a half-brother to the four-time Group One winner Lemon Drop Kid," Lindsay said.

"Charming Lassie is a half-sister to multiple Group winner Weekend Surprise (USA), the dam of Group 1 Breeders' Cup Classic winner and successful sire, A.P. Indy and the Preakness Stakes winner Summer Squall."

In all, Statue of Liberty produced 730 live foals in Australia. His last crop in Victoria included 35 live foals (now yearlings) while in his one (and final) year stint at the former Sun Stud property in Queensland her served 32 mares with those subsequent foals now dropping.

Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria wishes Statue of Liberty all the best in his retirement…no doubt he will be watching the races as he progeny continue to win across Australia in future years.

Bit green, but a nice debut for this guy. A $250k purchase, he is the most expensive SoL ever sold in Aus.

Bought a Statue of Liberty filly out of Passing By. Very nice type, he obviously can throw a nice type which is a big asset if they can't gallop.

I've got a mare in foal to him so hoping for the best. The mare throws very correct foals so hoping for SOL to put some size into the foal. I've heard the thoughts that a lot of SOL's are fizzy but my mare throws sensible, laid back horses so hoping it works.

How many of his progeny have feet issues , I looked at a nice lot at mm and his hooves I didn't like at all , but the rest of the horse was lovely.

Good solid stallion that brings a lot of speed into the progeny. could imagine that if you have a mare that needed some speed into the legs he is a good option.

Still covering ok numbers.

Hi Team,

New here, so hoping not to look a complete clown... Just wondering what the general consensus is re Statue of Liberty? 

I'm a first-time owner (small share of a share with a couple mates) with an unnamed 2yo filly by this bloke from a Geiger Counter/Noalcoholic mare. I'm a little obsessed with researching the family history, to the point where I get ahead of myself & start thinking breeding.... Pointless this early in the game, but research is my caper, so I can't help it Big smile. 

The filly herself looks big and strong to my untrained eye, and the stable reckon she's super-professional in her work and "has a good brain on her" (like she's going to win a spelling bee Confused ), which I'm told is rare for the breed?

I know that the big fella's largest crop to date (2009) are just entering their 4yo season, and the gap in breeding seasons (due to EI) means that the bulk of his current runners are no older than that. However, this also means that the pool of broodmares is limited to the 2004-06 crops... so not much to work with there, although other sons of Storm Cat are going OK.

So, to cut a short story long, is Statue of Liberty likely to find a few more Hay Lists, or a Spirit's Dance, (which I would happily settle for!) ?

what a stupid statement. The stallion has another 7 southern hem stakes winners from less than 100 runners. Name me a stallion that has done that

Statue of Liberty always had a chance of doing well in Australia. He is from the Lassie dear family that also includes Honor Grades, Saithor, Bite The Bullet, spectacular spy all good sires in Australia. Coolmore have now bought out Duke of Marmalade $22,000 and Emirates have brought out Eavesdropper a stakeswinning half brother to AP Indy for $5,500.
 
Both these stallions will have a good chance of doing well in Australia.

Statue Of Liberty Adds Irish Black-Type
In Ireland overnight, Eliza Park Stud's Royal Ascot Group-winning shuttler Statue Of Liberty (Storm Cat-Charming Lassie, by Seattle Slew) added a juvenile black-type success when his daughter Anadolu (Statue Of Liberty-Afto, by Relaunch) scored a half-length victory in the €45,000 (A$65,000) Listed Tipperary Stakes (5 furlongs) for 2YOs at Tipperary. Anadolu (ridden by Pat Shanahan for trainer Tracey Collins) defeated fellow fillies Moonlit Garden (Exceed And Excel-Fingal Nights, by Night Shift) & Cloneylass (Verglas-Consensus, by Common Grounds). Anadolu now has 2 wins from 4 starts. (Jul 12)
