Horse Description:
A magnificent colt who is strong and moves beautifully. He is by Champion sire Fastnet Rock, who will go down as one of the greatest stallions in Australian breeding history.
This colt is closely related to the family of MOQUEEN, BEAUTY EXPRESS and MONEY ROCKS. He also comes from the family of MICA'S PRIDE and multiple GR1 winner CRITERION.
A strong colt who has similar physical attributes to Anthony's GR1 winning son of Fastnet Rock in PRINCE FAWAZ, he is currently having a month off before returning to work at Randwick. With an exciting future given his looks and pedigree, he should be back in time to be racing through the Spring Carnival
