Description
This September-born Lucky Vega Colt is out of the Internationally winning FASNET ROCK mare, ROCK OF CANDY.
Rock of Candy is a half-sister to the multiple Stakes placed English horse My Lord and Master, along with the Stakes placed Iffraaj mare AURA BLUE.
This Colt was bred purposefully on the incredible LOPE DE VEGA x FASTNET ROCK cross that has produced elite sprinters such as SANTA ANA LANE (x5 G1 winner) and GYTRASH (G1 Lightning Stakes winner). This mating boasts an impressive 9% Stakes winners to runners.
Over the Sydney Carnival, as Broodmare sire, FASTNET ROCK daughters have produced LADY OF CAMELOT (2024 Golden Slipper), ZOUGOTCHA (2024 G1 Queen of the Turf Stakes), JOLIESTAR (G2 Arrowfield Stakes) etc.
Lucky Vega Yearlings have sold well in their first auction series. From a modest service fee, they have sold upwards of $160,000, purchased by elite judges and trainers such as Griffiths De Kock, Clayton Douglas, Troy Corstens, Cliff Brown, Matt Laurie, Darby Racing, Prime Thoroughbreds, Gollan Racing, Bjorn Baker, and Annabel Neasham racing.
