He wasn’t only the best miler of his generation. He was one of the best I’ve known. The horse to go to war with.”
Anton Marcus, Champion Jockey

Act of War represents the prospect of accessing one of the best-performed sons of one of history’s best stallions.
Given his lineage, it comes as no surprise that Act of War excelled on the racecourse. His sire was a champion breeding stallion (Dynasty) and his dam a Broodmare of the Year (Si Senorita).

Six wins on the trot, eight victories, and two runners-up in his first ten starts would commend any thoroughbred for a stud career.
Sire of War of Athena ( 2021 horse of the year, Gr. 1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Filles Classic and Gr.1 Woolavington 2000 winner, Triple Tiara Winner.)
Sire of 2021 Gr.1 Golden Horse Sprint Winner Battle Force
Sire of seven black type wins for the 2020/2021 season
