Description
A classy ZABEEL mare in foal to global star STATE OF REST.
From the family of DEVIL MOON and a winner herself, BUCCELLATI gets good types.
BUCCELLATI's most recent (third) foal is a yearling made $240,000 at Karaka. See pics and video below as he is a good example of type.

Her first foal won a Flemington jump out early for Simon Zahra, has switched trainers and is yet to fire.. Her second foal, a PIERRO has only started twice and was second at the most recent of the two starts earlier this month. He looks promising. Not Nom'd for third run yet.
Due to foal in September to STATE OF REST. Will be his second crop. One of the greatest global racehorses of recent decades, STATE OF REST is a four-time Gr.1 winner with wins including Gr.1 Cox Plate, Gr.1, Prince of Wales’s Stakes, Gr.1, Prix Ganay Gr.1 and Saratoga Derby Gr.1..
He is the only horse in history to have won three consecutive Group/Grade 1 races on three different continents and his first crop progeny look the part.
STATE OF REST first crop at INGLIS next week.
