The Westspeed EPONA initiative and its rewards front the 2021 Stallions Magazine.   EPONA provides 10% of winning prizemoney to be accumulated as a line of credit for mare owners to use with any Westspeed Platinum sire when they go to stud.

Rocky Path

Rocky Path (Therock) earned more Westspeed EPONA credits after winning the Amelia Park Lodge Hcp (1200m) on Wednesday.  She stormed down the centre of the track first-up to overhaul Our Pandemonium (Oratorio) and Sea War (War Chant) at Belmont. 

“I knew if she hit her straps she would win but she did come here a run underdone,” trainer Vaughn Sigley said.  “All credit to Kristy (Bennett) who has an affinity with our horses.  She listens and carries out instructions to the letter.”

Sigley expects Rocky Path to have a better prep after a run of outs last time in.  “We can only put that down to an accident at home when she jumped a fence during a lightning storm.  The chiropractor worked on her and she has come back much stronger and happier.”

The 4yo mare now has credits of $6,522 towards her first service fee for a Sigley-managed syndicate that includes well-known greyhound identities like Nambeelup trainer Chris Halse and leading owners Andrew and Peter Haines.

Former Waterford Stud resident Therock (Fastnet Rock) sired her from Xaartos (Xaar) who is now based at Geisel Park where she has a filly foal by All American.
