Princess Series Goal for Fastnet Filly

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 22
The powerful Chris Waller stable produced a lovely two year-old winner for champion sire Fastnet Rock on Wednesday at Canterbury with Maddi Rocks cruising clear for an impressive win.

Fastnet RockSecond on debut at the same venue two weeks ago, Maddi Rocks showed the benefit of that outing when accelerating smartly to the line to win the 1250 metre maiden by more than two lengths in a dominant display as hot favourite.

"She'll go for a spell now and then we'll look towards the Princess Series in the spring with her," said Chris Waller.

A $325,000 Magic Millions purchase for B K Racing/Guy Mulcaster from the Baramul Stud draft, Maddi Rocks was bred by Gerry Harvey and is the first winner for blueblood Savannah River, a winning half-sister by Encosta de Lago to Cox Plate winner and champion sire Savabeel.

A daughter of Group I New Zealand Oaks winner Savannah Success, Savannah River has an Exceed and Excel yearling filly that was sold at Magic Millions this year for $160,000 and a weanling colt by Snitzel.

Maddi Rocks is the seventh two year-old winner this season for Coolmore's Fastnet Rock, who stands at a fee of $165,000 this spring.
