The top lot at the 2019 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale when selling for $2.3million to UK based bloodstock agents John and Jake Warren, Fastnet Rock mare Missrock produced her third winner from three foals to race in the UK overnight at Kempton.
A homebred for Isa Salman Al Khalifa, three year-old Night of Thunder gelding Mercantile opened his account with a length and a quarter win in a mile maiden at his second start.
Trained by Daniel and Claire Kubler and ridden by Billy Loughnane, Mercantile was second at his only previous start last month.
Mercantile is the third winner from three foals to race from G3 winning and G1 placed mare Missrock, whose first two foals to win are geldings by Galileo and Kingman, so she is certainly going to the very best stallions.
Also in the pipeline are an unnamed 2YO colt by Wootton Bassett and a yearling colt by Too Darn Hot.
Missrock is a full sister to Group II winning sprinter Passive Aggressive, who is also now at stud although she has not hard a smooth start to her breeding career.
She missed and slipped in her first two seasons, but appears to be in foal to too Darn Hot, maybe it will be third time lucky!
