Rory's Jester, the
siring superstar

Every
way you look at it, there is only one word to describe Rory’s Jester –
champion.
In an industry where there is great overuse of the word, it is one that
certainly fits the Golden Slipper winner and siring superstar.
The rising 21-year-old champion has had another amazing season as he continues
to expand on a brilliant track and stud career.
With over 550 individual winners to his credit and with progeny having earned
over $40 million, Rory’s Jester continues to rank as one of the best
statistical sires in Australia’s history.
His winners to runners percentage sits at over 75, a figure rarely seen in
thoroughbred breeding. More astonishing is the fact that 16 per cent of Rory’s
Jester’s named foals have become black type performers.
His best performers to grace Australian racetracks include Aragen, Isca,
Racer’s Edge, Chortle, North Boy, Spargo, It’s a Giggle, Moss Rocket,
Catnipped, Toast of the Coast, Apollo Wonder, Happy Giggle, Light Up The World,
Tuscany Flyer, Armidale, Northern Song, Inspire, Rullene, Heaps of Fun, How
Funny, Pittsburgh Phil, On A Swing, Rosa’s Joy, Wyndam Glory, Scarlet Crown
and Speed Week.
The success of Rory’s Jester’s progeny is well known in Australia. But his
progeny have also been winners in New Zealand, Macau, England, Singapore,
Malaysia, Canada, Hong Kong and the United States. Collinggrove Stud
