Highest Performing Endurance Stallions

The most exciting new endurance stallion born in 2023, Bandit is out of a legendary Marcon mare and sired by a strong, classically bred performance stallion. Bandit’s dam is a full sister to Marcon Ios Conquero, currently the highest-ranked endurance stallion in the world. Conquero’s pedigree represents the pinnacle of Australian endurance breeding, built from bloodlines that have consistently produced elite athletes at the highest level of the sport. His grand-dams—Flirt (Silwan × Moonamet) and Chip Chase Carissa (Cherokee Mecca × Tarney)—are among the most successful endurance broodmares in recent history. These mares were paired with Aethon, a legendary sire whose impact on the sport is almost unmatched, and Ikari Iskander, a stallion whose performance record continues to stand as proof of his genetic value. This is a lineage that has become globally recognised not only for its success, but for producing horses with some of the best cardiovascular efficiency and heart rate recovery ever recorded. This is exemplified in Bullio Blue Sue—a two-time world champion and half-sister to Conquero—who recorded a resting heart rate of just 25 bpm. This world-class dam line is beautifully matched by Bandit’s sire, Shemali Silver Saran. His grandsire, Saran, produced some of the highest-performing Arabians in the country, dominating the early Tasmanian endurance scene and leaving a lasting legacy in the pedigrees of Tom Quilty winners. Most notably, Saran sired Sarisha, the record holder for the most kilometres completed in endurance competition ever —amounting to over 16,000 km, a record many believe will never be even closely rivalled. It is through Shemali Silver Saran that Bandit carries concentrated lines to the foundational sires Shahzada, Sherif, and Kataf—names synonymous with bone, soundness, and true staying power. These lines have consistently produced horses with exceptional recovery, durability, and longevity in competition. Rowsa Park Bandit brings together the cardiovascular excellence of the Conquero line with the classic strength and structure of Australia’s most proven endurance foundations. He represents a rare balance of athleticism, depth, and breeding integrity—an opportunity to move your program forward with purpose.
