Rock ‘n’ Pop’s son strikes
Boomtown Rat appreciated a step up in distance at his latest outing to post the third win of his career.
The son of Rock ‘n’ Pop moved up in trip to 1500 metres most recently at Canterbury Park and duly obliged.
The four-year-old is trained Michael Freedman and Ed O’Rourke at Randwick and was ridden by Sam Clipperton.

She is a three-quarter sister to the dual Group One winner Final Destination.
