Promising Fastnet Rock Colt Salutes

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 20
The Lindsay Park training team produced a promising winner for champion sire Fastnet Rock on Wednesday at Sandown with good looking colt Rona's Rock casting off maiden status in style.

Ronan's Rock as a yearlingStepping out to 1600 metres for the first time at his third run back from a spell, Ronan's Rock relished the longer trip, zooming to the line to win by a length and three-quarters.

A raft of gear changes addressed his habit of hanging in his races with Damien Oliver able to get the best of Ronan's Rock, who hit the line straight and hard.

A $250,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Coolmore draft for Lindsay Park Racing/ Spicer Thoroughbreds, Ronan's Rock is the second winner from stakes-placed Ronan's Bay (USA), who comes from an international Black Type family.

Ronan's Bay has a yearling filly by Pride of Dubai, a weanling filly by Vancouver and was covered last spring by Fastnet Rock's superstar Group I winning son Merchant Navy.
