It has been 19 years since a champion Australia broodmare sire finished top five in the general sires' title. Fastnet Rock, destined for back-to-back damsire titles and currently sixth on the general table, is seeking to emulate his own sire Danehill as his tremendous legacy continues to build.
Fastnet Rock’s pursuit of a record total of seasonal stakes winners as a broodmare sire took another step forward with the upset victory of Imperialist in the Rough Habit Plate at Doomben.
The Coolmore champion, the reigning champion broodmare sire of Australia and well on his way to back-to-back titles, now has 18 individual Australian stakes winners from his daughters this season.
With 71 stakes races remaining this season, he is now within one victory off his own best mark of 19 set in 2023/24 and two off the Australian broodmare sires record for stakes winners set jointly by Redoute’s Choice in 2019/20 and Danehill in 2010/11.
