TRUE BLUE!

Ascot Stud’s well-performed young stallion Heavenly Blue looks to have come up with a smart performer in his first crop in the form of Three Rocks. The latter made it three wins in a row when she stormed home to win at Fairview on Friday, with Three Rocks having now won three of just four starts.

Runner-up on debut, the Alan Greeff-trained Three Rocks had won her two previous starts by an aggregate of nearly six lengths coming into Friday’s 1000m contest and she duly made it three in a row with a smart performance.

Under Richard Fourie, the two-year-old came with a strong late run which saw Three Rocks fly up late to win cosily by a neck, while conceding weight to some hard-knocking older rivals.

The filly was a R100 000 purchase from the 2022 August Two Year Old Sale.

Three Rocks is one of seven horses, from ten runners, to have won or been placed in Heavenly Blue’s first crop of two-year-olds this season.

Winner of the Gr1 SA Classic, equine millionaire Heavenly Blue is a son of four times Australian Champion Sire Snitzel, whose more than 130 stakes winners also include this year’s Gr1 Longines Golden Slipper winner, Shinzo.
