“Rocky is a seriously impressive horse. He looks like a son Fastnet Rock. He is a big and powerful horse, has a strong shoulder, has a good length of rein, is exceptionally muscular and athletic and has a strong hindquarter. He would not have looked out of place at any sale in Australia. We are genuinely excited to be training him.” Troy Corstens.
This cracking 2yo gelding is by THEROCK a son of the all-conquering FASTNET ROCK.
THEROCK was an expensive weanling from Fastnet’s first crop and was selected and trained by leading trainer Gerald Ryan, who rated him as one of his leading 3yo’s alongside MELITO and ROTHESAY.
THEROCK won two consecutive Sydney 3yo races in emphatic fashion and was ruling favourite for the G1 NZ GUINEAS, however injury prevented him from travelling and he was subsequently retired to stud. With just four runners to date, he has already produced 1 winner and 2 placed.
FASTNET ROCK is proving to be a sire of sires and is creating his own dynasty with HINCHNIBROOK, ROTHESAY, WANTED, FOXWEDGE & SMART MISSILE.
Having identified and purchased multiple Group 1 winner, MOSHEEN (Fastnet Rock) as a yearling, Troy Corstens’ knowledge and judgment of the breed is clearly proven.
XAARTOS (Xaar) is a half sister to listed winner ALL FRIARED UP and comes from a successful family that includes stakes winners EVER READY, ROHAN, CHANTES PATH & DARLINGTON ABBEY.
