Gold Front Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing

The cream rises to the top, so the saying goes - That was never more true than at Ascot yesterday, when WA’s leading jockey, stable and owner all made their presence felt in no uncertain terms - and there was a nice little twist in the tale!

The ever-consistent Watch Me Rock nabbed one of only two golden tickets remaining into the G1 Railway Stakes, with a typically gutsy performance to take out the 1400m G3 Asian Beau in an Ascot thriller!

A somewhat disappointing lineup of just four runners contested the Listed Old Comrade Stakes (1600m) over the Ascot mile on Saturday, but the field didn't lack for quality.

Rising star Watch Me Rock unleashed a blistering turn of foot to seize an unlikely victory and announce himself as a serious contender for Perth Autumn carnival features in the Listed Grandstand Cup (1500m) at Ascot on Saturday.

The short-priced favourite Own The Queen did it the hard way in Saturday’s Group III Drummond Golf - WA Oaks (2400m) at Ascot, extending her winning sequence to five.

A ground-breaking burst of Group winners will pay off for Awesome Rock when his latest crop of yearlings parade at the Perth Magic Millions Sale next month.

Prominent Western Australian Breeders Gold Front Thoroughbreds are excited to announce that their highly credentialled sire, Awesome Rock, will be standing for a fee of $9900 in the upcoming breeding season.

Red Sun Sensation captured Saturday's Group III Chairman's Stakes (2000m) at Morphettville and is beginning to repay the faith shown by Peter Moody since the son of Awesome Rock broke his maiden at Geelong last August.

The John O'Shea-trained Awesome John completed a hit-and-run mission in Saturday's $400,000 Group II Schweppes WATC Derby and gave Willie Pike his eleventh win in the classic in eighteen years.

While Red Sun Sensation broke his maiden over 1200m at Geelong on Friday, trainer Peter Moody believes he has a Victoria Derby contender on his hands.

A Group I winning son of champion sire Fastnet Rock, Awesome Rock has been quietly putting  together some nice results with his oldest progeny just three year-olds and went very close to posting a stakes double at Belmont on Saturday.

Here is the full list of 46 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia on Wednesday with winners and result details.

Rob and Heather Grant's mighty little filly Searchin' Roc's is doing much to revive the fortunes of Fastnet Rock's Group 1 winning son Awesome Rock.

Fastnet Rock has a long list of sire sons that have enjoyed success at stud and has a new sire son with a winner on the board after Awesome Rock posted his first winner at Ascot on Saturday.
