Description

Rock Sturdy is a handsome looking 10 yo Stallion By the great Fastnet Rock from a great running Gooree Family.

He was a Gr 2 winner in Sydney and Gr 1 Placed 3rd in the $1 Million Emirates Stakes 1600m at Flemington.

In an extremely competitive market he has not been commercially well received and has only 16 foals on the ground after four seasons at stud.

He would be a great breed to race stallion as he throws good types and had Gr 1 ability.

Rock Sturdy stands around 16 Hands and is a very easy horse to handle. Why pay Service Fees when Breeding to Race when you can own the factory!
