WINNER - Rock Anthem Sandown

Rockie won his third race of the year, at Sandown, on friday last week. He finished second past the post to Desert Kiss but as the jockey of the latter weighed in 1.5lbs light his mount was disqualified and Rockie was placed first. Rockie once again ran a great race under Andrea Atzeni who had steered him to success at Lingfield. He was not able to get to the winner but maybe the 1.5lbs were the difference. Certainly the handicapper thinks so raising both horses 3lb.
Rockie deserves a break now having ran 14 times this year, securing 3 wins and 3 seconds. He is going to find it hard work running off his new mark of 75!
