Reply With QuoteI don't think Rock Artist went through the sales so Stewart/Tonkin obviously liked him to have him in their name and have somehow been able to snaffle him from Lauriston
Rock Artist is Yankee Rockstar's third only starter (two 2yo's last season) and is his 2nd winner. He was very impressive after being stuck 3 wide, he finished strongly in 26.8

I should have mentioned that Yankee only had 2 starters last year because he only sired 5 foals in his first season

It was great to see Rock Artist win. The current 2 year olds are the Rockstars biggest crop so hoping for more youngsters at the track. Emma and Clayton bought RA off us privately ,they love the Rockstar and wanted to support him.
I have just read the story on Harnesslink re the Stallion Levy. It was the talk of the sales. Instead of assisting the breeding industry the proposed levy will be used to fund a Slots Race and it is rumoured that ALL stallions will attract a levy at different levels.
Emergency for the 2yo Classic at Melton tonight is unraced Perfect In Pink a half sister to Ladies In Red (and Our Little General) but she probably wont get a run

The smallest fields (10 and 8) are actually the $20k 2yo Trot and the $20k 2yo Pace

10 first starters in the 2yo trot (the first for the year I think)

It was surprising that Pinky was not in the $20k race at Mary today instead. The Stewart stable had a runner at the meeting. Maybe first starters were not eligible

APG heats at Albion Park today but they are just a warm up as there is only 1 heat for each sex
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=AP190422
APG heats at Menangle tonight don't have many more runners but there are 2 heats for each sex - not sure why for the fillies as the field limit is supposed to be 12 at Menangle
(there are two 3yo fillies heats but there are only 11 of them in total)

A never heard of before sire caught my eye in the Queensland 2yoF race. Bull Mattgregor is the sire of Maywyns La Nina
Bull never raced, he is by Roy Mattgregor who only ever produced a couple of $100k performers.
It is not like Bull's dam produced anything of note - zip, but the 2nd dam is also the 2nd dam of Bit Of A Legend who earnt $2,677,957 mostly in the US
The surprising thing about the 4 mares that Bull served a couple of years ago, three of them had 30 wins between them, so they were not duds
The race is on in an hour
