El Rocko And His Love For A Wet Track

Winning two starts back and running third in his previous start, the stable was finally able to find a rain affected track for the mud loving El Rocko. In a Benchmark 70 over 1400 metres at Ballarat on June 30th 2024, jockey Daniel Stackhouse began well from a good draw and had the son of Fastnet Rock settled just off the speed. On turning Daniel pointed El Rocko to the middle of the track and he thrived under the Heavy conditions to career away for a dominant 2.25 length victory.
