Barrier Rogue Bolts In

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 29
Noted barrier rogue Callanish returned from a spell to win impressively at Sandown on Wednesday, the talented son of Fastnet Rock causing punters a few anxious moments when he deliberated on whether to enter the gates, but all's well that ends well.

The Mick Price trained three year old won easily at his only previous start at Cranbourne in December, but has had issues with his barrier manners since then that have kept him out of competition.

Fitted with a barrier blanket and carried into the gates by attendants, Callanish jumped well for Dale Smith, travelled forward to be on the pace and then kicked clear in the straight to win the 1400 metre Ratings 72 event by more than two lengths.

A $320,000 purchase from the Curraghmore Stud draft at the 2010 NZB Premier Yearling Sale for his trainer, Callanish is a half-brother to Group III winner Dancing Daggers and is from Dancing Doll, who comes from the family of Group I winners Blevic, Universal Prince and Universal Queen.

Fastnet Rock (pictured) has been in hot form at the sales this week, his offspring selling for up to $500,000 at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
