Latest News

One to Watch – Hawkesbury

One of the most potent nicks in the world has been with Fastnet Rock over Galileo mares and we saw it on Saturday in the shape of Group I winner Via Sistina (IRE) and again at Hawkesbury on Thursday in a promising maiden winner from the Ciaron Maher stable.

Cressfield Investment Paying Off

There were a lot of super expensive mares sold at this year’s Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, but one that looked well bought at the time was the half-sister to five time Group I winner Imperatriz that was snapped up by boutique Hunter Valley nursery Cressfield for $460,000.

Another Aussie G1 Mare Produces a Royal Ascot Winner

Sea Siren is not the only Group I winning daughter of champion sire Fastnet Rock to produce a Royal Ascot winner this week with 2014 Group I MRC Thousand Guineas winner Amicus featuring overnight when her five year-old Galileo son Okita Soushi won the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes Handicap (1m4f).

Buckaroo Back with a Bang

Fastnet Rock four year-old Buckaroo showed serious promise in three runs in stakes races in Ireland last year and showed he was back better than ever with a first up win in the Listed Heritage Stakes (1m) at Leopardstown.

First HK Win for Straight Arron

This time last year talented Fastnet Rock three year-old Straight Arron was working towards an impressive win in the Group III ATC Carbine Club Stakes (1200m) and 12 months on after his transfer to Hong Kong he has broken the ice for his first win at Sha Tin and has a half-sister entered for Inglis Easter.

Fastnet Rock – Quality Never Goes Out of Fashion

There are a lot of ways to measure success in a sire, but for the truly elite stallions there is really only one and it’s Group I winners and on that score Fastnet Rock has no peers, so let's take a look at the mares he covered last spring.
