Yankee Rockstar returned to racing with a good win at Ballarat on October 9. It was his first start for 7 months after suffering travel sickness on his return from the Chariots Of Fire at Menangle. There were major concerns for his health and survival. It is a credit to the horse and the expert care that he received to have him back at the races. He returned a mile rate of 1.55.2 for the 2200 metres.
Ten years ago Aston Villa was purchased at the Lexington Kentucky yearling sale by Anne and Bill Anderson and exported to Victoria. She raced 9 times for 4 wins and a third before a knee injury ended her career.
It is in the breeding barn that she has excelled ! She has been named the 2015 HBV Broodmare of the Year. She is the dam of 3 progeny of racing age ; Yankee Rockstar , Yankee Showgirl and Born To Rocknroll. She has a yearling colt by Somebeachsomewhere and is in foal to Mach3 . |
