Description

Rock Success is an easy to handle ROCK OF GIBRALTAR mare.

She is empty and is ready to be served by your stallion of choice, after unfortunately slipping last season.

Rock Success is from a very reliable and proven family in the stud book, throwing lovely types. This is evidenced by her two most recent SPIETH colts who offer potential upside to her page.

Headed by the Aquis owned 3yo BARNES from the Kacy Fogden yard, BARNES finished second in a trial behind Magic Millions Classic runner GOLDEN ARTIE before winning two trials himself prior to being tipped out ahead of a promising spring.

Bred for Success Pty Ltd own her most recent foal, a full brother to Barnes who was passed in at the weanling sales for $28,000. He is a cracking type (see pictures) and is being saved for the yearling sales this season.

Rock Success has had yearling sales of $100,000, $110,000, $40,000.

For those looking for a quick turn around, her weanlings have sold for $30,000 and $58,000.

This is a black type family headed by dual hemisphere stakes winning mare SEA SIREN.

Most recently the family was upgraded by the undefeated 2yo RUTHLESS DAME who saluted in the Group 3 Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes.

With a rich pedigree, an active family, and a blank canvas to breed with, Rock Success presents an opportunity for an astute breeder who wishes to seize a value chance at breeding a nice type that can run and the potential for residual value.
