We often say about a sire ‘he’s never without a G1 horse’ and in the case of this stallion it’s true.

Back in 2018, Fastnet Rock colt Merchant Navy was the toast of Royal Ascot when he beat some of Europe’s best sprinters to win the Group I Diamond Jubilee Stakes (6f) and six years on he now calls Kooringal Stud home and a hot winning run since the start of June will no doubt prick the ears of all mare owners in the Wagga district.
