Rock Of Gibraltar Adds French Gr3

Monday, 5th September 2011

In France overnight, European Horse-Of-The-Year & 7-time Gr1-winning shuttler Rock Of Gibraltar (Danehill-Offshore Boom, by Be My Guest) added a juvenile group success when Wertheimer home-bred colt Sofast (Rock Of Gibraltar-Beautifix, by Bering) scored a half-length victory in the €80,000 (A$106,000) Gr3 Prix La Rochette (1400m) for 2YOs at Longchamp in Paris. Sofast (ridden by Olivier Peslier for trainer Freddy Head) defeated Irish-bred colt Mac Row (Le Vie Dei Colori-Kointreau, by Desert King) & favoured colt American Devil (American Post-Alcestes Selection, by Selkirk). Sofast took his record to 2 wins & a placing from 4 starts for €71,985 (A$99,000) earnings.
