MATING SUGGESTIONS:
Rock of Gibraltar has over 120 black-type horses in the northern hemisphere. The
BLUSHING GROOM
line has played
a leading role. His record with
RAINBOW QUEST
mares now stands at six stakes winners from 33 foals – 18 per cent -
and one of those, Samitar, won the Irish 1,000 Guineas. His demoted 1,000 Guineas winner Jacqueline Quest is out of
a mare by
CROCO ROUGE
and he also has a 2yo Group winner out of a
NASHWAN
mare.
He sired Gr.1 winner Varenar from a daughter of
MR PROSPECTOR
and has Group winners out of
MACHIAVELLIAN
and
LYCIUS
mares. He has southern hemisphere Gr.1 winners out of
WOODMAN
and
JADE HUNTER
mares.
Rock of Gibraltar works well with the
SHARPEN UP
line. His Gr.1 winner Mount Nelson and Gr.2 winner Ebiyza are
from
SELKIRK
mares, while Gr.3 winner Unilateral is from a
SHARPEN UP
mare and Gr.3 winner Utrecht is from a
KRIS
mare. From 11 foals out of
BERING
mares, Rock of Gibraltar has sired the smart French colt Sofast and the
Australian Gr.3 winner Musidora. Bering’s son
PENNEKAMP
sired the dam of the high-class colt Prince Gibraltar.
Rock of Gibraltar is inbred 3x3 to Northern Dancer, but this hasn’t stopped him siring nearly 50 northern hemisphere
black-type earners from
NORTHERN DANCER
line mares. Gr.1 winner Diamondrella is out of mare by
DIXIELAND
BAND
and he has two Gr.3 winners out of
NIGHT SHIFT
mares. His Group performers out of
SADLER’S WELLS
mares
include Gr.3 winner Three Rocks and Gr.2 winner Kitty Matcham. Rock of Gibraltar will also suit
GALILEO
mares.
Rock of Gibraltar suits inbreeding to
DANZIG
. Classic-winner Samitar is inbred 3x4, as her second dam is by
GREEN
DESERT
. Gr.2 winner Belle de Crecy has a dam by
CAPE CROSS
. Mount Nelson has a second line through
GREEN
DESERT
. Gr.1-winning sprinter Society Rock is another inbred 3x4 to Danzig, his dam being by
KEY OF LUCK
.
2016 Gr.3 winner Jallota is out of a
NUREYEV
line mare. He also has Listed winners out of mares by
PEINTRE CELEBRE
and
PIVOTAL
and his accomplished sons Prince Gibraltar and High Rock have
NUREYEV
mares as their second dam.
Rock of Gibraltar has three top-class winners out of
DARSHAAN
mares, including the Gr.1 winner Eagle Mountain.
He also has very useful winners from daughters of
KENMARE
,
HIGHEST HONOR
and
KALDOUNEVEES
.
