Rockie is back
Rock Anthem makes his first appearance of the year at Windsor tomorrow. He has been a stable star since being bought out of John Dunlop's yard in October 2007. Last year he had a very busy campaign running 16 times: 3 wins, 3 second places and 2 third places. Unfortunately his good campaign has left him on a high handicap mark of 76 on the flat which will be tough for him as he is not a big horse. However, he has a big heart and we are hopeful he will come to himself in the second half of the season.
Our apprentice, Barry Adams, is on board and rides him at home. His 7lb claim will help and Barry has worked really hard to do the weight tomorrow. Barry's minimum weight is 8st 5lb and he is due to ride at 8st 4lb which at this stage of the season is a big ask. However, he is a very capable apprentice who deserves more rides. He certainly rode a cracking race on Murrumbidgee to win for us last year and he has had 12 winners under Arab racing so he is well worth his 7lb claim.
