We have purchased a yearling colt by Fastnet Rock stallion – Merchant Navy – Winner of the Gr. 1 VRC Coolmore and the Gr. 1 Royal Ascot Diamond Jubilee.
This colt is out of a Zabeel mare who was a Gr. 2 winner herself. She has also produced the seven times winner – So Wicked.
This is a pedigree which could produce a three year old classics winner, or even stretch out to a Derby distance.
He was purchased at the Inglis Gold Sale and is eligible for Super VOBIS, Gold VOBIS and BOBS.
Please contact Shane on 0418 319 612 if you would like to join us in racing this exciting prospect.
