On The Rocks will shoot for consecutive black type wins at Ellerslie when he steps out there on New Year’s Day.
The Alamosa three-year-old led all the way to claim top honours in the Listed Trevor Eagle Memorial (1500m) and on Monday will attempt to add the Gr.2 Jamieson Park Auckland Guineas (1600m) to his record for trainers Mike Moroney and Pam Gerard.
A yearling half-sister (Lot 777) to On The Rocks by Tavistock will be offered by Wellfield Lodge in the Book 2 Sale at Karaka in February.
Another talented three-year-old in the stable has enjoyed time off since his runner-up finish in the Listed 3YO Salver at Ellerslie.
“The Boy Wonder has had a few quiet days and he was entered for the Levin Classic, but we may instead head toward the Waikato Guineas,” Gerard said.
