@WaznTheGreat Thanks to my first celebrity crush Caroline Searcy I just learnt the Ebor winner over the weekend ā€˜Absurde’ is by Fastnet Rock…. Willie Mullins trains, is planning on bringing him out for The Cup… now if that doesn’t make you rock hard on a Monday evening nothing will.

How is the level of tumescence if Wankie Dettori is steering?

@WaznTheGreat Some good racing overnight at Royal Ascot too even though it was a bog. The French colt Big Rock put a quality field to the sword and Dettori’s world retirement tour rolls on with a big win on King of Steel.

Now that’s a Stallions name if I’ve ever heard one

*edit just read he’s by Rock of Gibraltar, holy shit I thought he was retired from stud in 1987

Amazing front running display by Big Rock,sustained speed the whole way,King of Steel was also impressive coming from well of the pace with a well timed run,unfortunately though he denied the Fastnet Rock mare Via Sistina who was 2nd.

I picked up 2.5% in a 5 year old Fastnet Rock gelding called Fire with a mate I’m in The Pal with. It was bought by that ā€œmicro shareā€ mob online for $70k but me and my mate got 5%. He’s been sent to Cumani and he’s been settling there for a bit over a month. Hopefully a change of scenery and stopped getting bounced between Sydney and Melbourne might see him back in the winners circle.

He’s ex-Coolmore/Hawkes and has good form running 2nd to Chain of Lightning by a bees dick at Flemington in November and then a 2nd to Bandi’s Boy in Sydney. I think he might’ve run in the Black Caviar Lightning that Coolongatta won.

Apparently he’s a bit of cranky prick around the stables. Just nice to have a share in one of the ol’ legends sprogs.

Enjoy retirement champion.

As good as he’s been it’s a bit of shame he hasn’t really proven to be a sire or sires. Deserved to have some sons carry on his legacy.

Hinchinbrook was going well but unfortunately he left us early.

And yet he is the leading Broodmare Sire but a decent margin? Weird how it works out sometimes.

Fastnet Rocks last hope of an heir to continue his line Merchant Navy has been flogged off from Coolmore to a scrub farm somewhere.

I thought if ever one of his colts would make it that it would be this bloke, won a Coolmore won a Diamond Jubilee.

Unfortunately his swimmers were as effective as Parras backline.
