At Morphettville in Adelaide, Coolmore's former Gr1-winning Champion Australian Sire Fastnet Rock (Danehill-Piccadilly Circus, by Royal Academy) celebrated an elite race success when blue-blooded 3YO filly Shoals (Fastnet Rock-The Broken Shore, by Hussonet) swept wide powerfully and essentially toyed with a top class field to score by 1.3 lengths in the $1,000,000 Gr1 Robert Sangster Classic (1200m) WFA over Secret Agenda & Mica Lil. A delighted trainer, Anthony Cummings, commented post race to smh.com.au, "She is an outstanding filly. She has won three group 1s from 10 starts and was dominant today in a very good race. She has gone up a couple of levels, and we will give Royal Ascot a lot of thought." If Shoals does head to the UK to represent Australia in the Gr1 Diamond Jubilee, she will be treading the same hoof-prints as Champion mare Black Caviar in 2012. Freedman added, "I will have to speak with the two Johns - Munz and Messara. If the decision is made to go, that would be her last run in Australia and she will probably fly out at the end of May." Shoals' victory took her record to 7 wins (including the Gr3 Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes, Gr2 Percy Sykes Stakes, Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes, Gr1 Myer Classic & Gr1 Surround Stakes) & 2 placings (including the Gr2 Thousand Guineas Prelude & Gr1 Thousand Guineas) from 10 starts for $2,004,270 in earnings.
