Fast ‘N’Rocking cast the shackles aside as a maiden when he powered home to win the H D F McNeil Stakes at Caulfield.

While David Hayes is weighing up his options which direction he will take, at this stage he was pleased to shake off the maiden tag.

The Golden Rose in Sydney is a strong possibility with it’s prizemoney of $1 million, that would have to be given serious consideration.

Fast ‘N’ Rocking was drawing away at the conclusion of the McNeil, suggesting the Fastnet Rock colt is going to get much further.

The favourite, Miracles Of Life, was not on her best behaviour, fortunately she started from the outside, otherwise there could have been mayhem, she did race erratically throwing her head about and fighting with her rider, Lauren Stojakovic.

She finally reached the lead at the top of the straight, however, it was short lived, she was swamped by the colts, Fast ‘N’ Rocking and Prince Harada, with the early pacemaker, Divine Calling, hanging on for third.

Miracles Of Life was dominant in the autumn, she wiped the floor with her opposition in the Blue Diamond Stakes, she was an early maturing filly, the colts have now caught up, it will be much harder from here in and we have a strong group of fillies as well

 Fast 'N' Rocking could be Sydney bound.
