Rock ‘n’ Pop’s roll continues
The quaintly-named Horsey Horse Horse has continued an excellent season for the regally-bred Rock ‘n’ Pop.
She credited the Waikato Stud-based stallion with his 15th individual winner when she struck at Matamata yesterday.
Trained by Linda Laing, Horsey Horse Horse was successful over 2000m at her sixth appearance.
