More Black Type for Alamosa with his 3 year old son On The Rocks (out of Volksraad mare Cold Shoulder, herself a half sister to Melbourne Cup winner Efficient) leading all the way in the Listed Trevor Eagle Memorial over 1500 metres at Ellerslie today. Trained by Mike Moroney and Pam Gerard for a group of Ballymore Stable supporters, the colt, bred by Bill Gleeson of Wellfield Lodge where On The Rock's sire Alamosa stands, was well rated by visiting Victorian rider ... Patrick Moloney and ran out a very good winner. That's now 2 wins from 4 starts and the stable will no doubt be looking at feature 3 year old races throughout summer and autumn.
This result is a significant catalogue page upgrade for the Tavistock/Cold Shoulder filly going forward in the Wellfield Lodge draft at the Karaka 2018 yearling sales.
As a bonus, there's a 2 year old brother to On The Rocks waiting in the wings at Wellfield Lodge.
