WITH 17 Group 1-winners among an overall tally of 149 blacktype scorers, classic sire Rock Of Gibraltar is among Danehill’s (Danzig) top sons, just as he was during a glittering career on the track.

This made his son Society Rock an eye-catching new sire to stud. He won the Group 1 Golden Jubilee Stakes and Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup and was multiple Group 1-placed, but he was only nine when he died. Two of his six stakes winners among 13 blacktype earners are stallions: prolific Group 2-scorer A’Ali and juvenile Group 1-star Unfortunately.
