The First of the Class - Inside the Shane Rose Programme Shaping Dynamic’s Next Stars!
Zoustar x Siteki Filly & St Mark’s Basilica x Brilliance Colt Step into our Dynamic System.
The next generation has officially begun its journey.
Since 2 February, the first of our 2026 yearlings have entered the Shane Rose education programme, and it is no coincidence that leading the class are two yearlings of enormous quality and commercial appeal.
Our Zoustar x Siteki filly (left) and our St Mark’s Basilica x Brilliance Colt (right) are the first to progress through the system, paired together as they begin the most important stage of their development.
This is where the foundation is laid.
Before raceday. Before barrier trials. Before the headlines.
It starts at Booleroo Park and Bimbadeen Park under the expert guidance of Shane Rose,
Australia’s number one horseman, multiple times Olympian and Olympic medal winner.
Across these two properties operates a seamless system. Booleroo Park provides the ideal agistment environment where yearlings let down, mature and strengthen naturally following the sales experience. Then at Bimbadeen Park the structured education begins.
Zoustar x Siteki filly
The Zoustar x Siteki filly arrived with enormous expectation.
By Zoustar, Australia’s reigning Champion Sire, out of Siteki, a daughter of Flying Artie and a half sister to two Group 1 winners in Marabi and Aristia, she represents a pedigree packed with elite performance. She is the first foal of her dam. She is the first opportunity to see this cross. She is Magic Millions eligible. She was secured as a premium athlete and she looks every bit the part.
St Mark’s Basilica x Brilliance Colt
Alongside her is our St Mark’s Basilica x Brilliance colt, bred on international depth and class, carrying the influence of one of Europe’s most exciting young sires.
STOP PRESS: IMPORTANT UPDATE TO THIS PEDIGREE
Brilliance’s 3/4 brother PERICLES produced a brilliant performance to win
the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (21/2) adding further elite Group 1 Success
Now: 8 Wins and Prizemoney: $6,979,365
Two elite pedigrees. Two outstanding physical types. One proven education system.
Since 2 February, these yearlings have commenced their structured breaking in programme.
The early photos tell the story.

Relaxed. Attentive. Intelligent. Exactly what you want to see. This phase is about understanding. Teaching them to move forward freely. Teaching them to respond calmly. Building confidence without pressure.
From there the process progresses to short reins and then to bearing weight.
The first time a rider asks a young thoroughbred to accept weight is a significant moment. It requires trust. It requires patience. It requires horsemanship.
Shane Rose and his hand picked team of gifted horse people do not rush this stage.

The St Mark’s Basilica Colt has shown the same composure and professionalism. Both have responded exactly as hoped.
Once comfortable in the roundyard, the next progression is into the open paddock.
Here they are ridden in a spacious, secure environment where they learn to travel forward confidently with a rider on top.
The transition from roundyard to open paddock is another important milestone.

Learning rhythm. Learning routine. Beginning to understand the early structure that mirrors a racing stable environment. There is something reassuring about watching two quality yearlings travel side by side, relaxed in their action, balanced, ears pricked, absorbing their education.
They are doing everything correctly as hoped.
And that matters.

Then they enter the Shane Rose programme, where foundation fitness, balance and mental maturity are developed properly.
Adam Watt & Shane Rose at Bimbadeen Park
Shane operates across Booleroo Park and Bimbadeen Park with a system that integrates seamlessly with ours.
The result is simple but powerful. Our trainers receive well educated, confident, balanced equine athletes ready to progress through the next stage of their careers.
After Winning the 2026 Magic Millions $1m SNIPPETS with AXIUS
It is no coincidence that Dynamic Syndications holds a remarkable 90.2% percent Winners to Runners strike rate and currently sits on 982 race wins overall as we rapidly approach the 1,000 win milestone.
Those results are built on foundations like this.
Watching the Zoustar x Siteki filly move across the ground, you see power and presence.
Watching the St Mark’s Basilica x Brilliance colt, you see athleticism and scope.
Watching them together, you see the future.
Education is not about speed at this stage.
It is about doing things correctly.
It is about building muscle gradually. It is about strengthening joints and soft tissue. It is about teaching young thoroughbreds to understand their role and enjoy their work. It is about giving our leading trainers the ideal raw material to mould into metropolitan performers and stakes class prospects.
The reports from Bimbadeen are exactly what we want to hear.
Progressing well. Attentive. Balanced. Taking each step in their stride.
There is quiet confidence in the system. There is excitement in the potential.
For our Owners and connections, it is immensely satisfying to see tangible progress.
From the sales ring to agistment at Booleroo Park. From long reins in the roundyard to bearing weight.
From open paddock riding to structured work on the sand track. Each phase ticked off professionally.
These are the first of our class of 2026 to enter the programme.
They are setting the standard.
There is a long road ahead, as there always is in racing.
But the road has begun the right way. With structure. With expertise. With patience. With purpose.
Every champion has a beginning.
For the Zoustar x Siteki filly
and the
St Mark’s Basilica x Brilliance colt,
that beginning is unfolding now at Bimbadeen Park.
And it is unfolding exactly as planned.
