As we head into the sales season every yearling buyer thinks they know what they are looking for, but do they? This new Breednet innovation seeks to shed light on what the best progeny of a sire looked like as yearlings so we can maybe learn a lesson going forward.
Champion sire Fastnet Rock is riding high over the Christmas and New Year holidays with a flurry of winners and stakes-winners including Avantage, Rocket Spade and Eleven Eleven, so he’s the obvious stallion to start off a series of stories that are sure to prove popular with our audience.
From our data base of images we have put together a selection of Fastnet Rock stakes-winners pictured as yearlings that offer some real insight into his offspring.
Fastnet Rock is noted for his ability to put size, strength and a good temperament and constitution into his stock which are always bay or brown and very occasionally grey.
His stock are versatile and can include sprinters, stayers, classic horses and precocious two year-olds, so there is a variance in type as you can see in these images. Some are leggier with considerable scope, while others are more compact and muscular.
What they have in common is good bone and athleticism.
Below are all the Fastnet Rock Magic Millions yearlings with images currently uploaded, which ones are the stakes-winners of the future?
