Adelaide, May 13 – It’s not easy chasing the world’s best sprinter Black Caviar, but five year-old Fastnet Rock gelding We’re Gonna Rock gave it his best shot at Morphettville on Saturday.
The Mark Kavanagh trained sprinter surged home to run second, beaten just over a length in the Group I SAJC Goodwood Handicap over 1200 metres.
Blessed with great natural talent, We’re Gonna Rock has shown flashes of brilliance during his 14 start career including a good second to More Joyous in the Group I MRC Toorak Handicap and may yet crack it for a win at the highest level judging by his current form.
A $180,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Yarraman Park draft, We’re Gonna Rock has won four races and more than $360,000 in prizemoney with the promise of more to come.
We’re Gonna Rock is by boom sire Fastnet Rock and is from the Dehere (USA) mare Harrow, a half-sister to Group I winners Bluebird the Word and Porto Roca, who has shot to international fame as the dam of Group I Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso.
