The BLUSHING GROOM line has played a leading role. His record with RAINBOW QUEST mares now stands at six stakes winners from 33 foals – 18 per cent - and one of those, Samitar, won the Irish 1,000 Guineas. His demoted 1,000 Guineas winner Jacqueline Quest is out of a mare by CROCO ROUGE and he also has a 2yo Group winner out of a NASHWAN mare. He sired Gr.1 winner Varenar from a daughter of MR PROSPECTOR and has Group winners out of MACHIAVELLIAN and LYCIUS mares. He has southern hemisphere Gr.1 winners out of WOODMAN and JADE HUNTER mares. Rock of Gibraltar works well with the SHARPEN UP line. His Gr.1 winner Mount Nelson and Gr.2 winner Ebiyza are from SELKIRK mares, while Gr.3 winner Unilateral is from a SHARPEN UP mare and Gr.3 winner Utrecht is from a KRIS mare. From 11 foals out of BERING mares, Rock of Gibraltar has sired the smart French colt Sofast and the Australian Gr.3 winner Musidora. Bering’s son PENNEKAMP sired the dam of the high-class colt Prince Gibraltar. Rock of Gibraltar is inbred 3x3 to Northern Dancer, but this hasn’t stopped him siring nearly 50 northern hemisphere black-type earners from NORTHERN DANCER line mares. Gr.1 winner Diamondrella is out of mare by DIXIELAND BAND and he has two Gr.3 winners out of NIGHT SHIFT mares. His Group performers out of SADLER’S WELLS mares include Gr.3 winner Three Rocks and Gr.2 winner Kitty Matcham. Rock of Gibraltar will also suit GALILEO mares. Rock of Gibraltar suits inbreeding to DANZIG . Classic-winner Samitar is inbred 3x4, as her second dam is by GREEN DESERT . Gr.2 winner Belle de Crecy has a dam by CAPE CROSS . Mount Nelson has a second line through GREEN DESERT . Gr.1-winning sprinter Society Rock is another inbred 3x4 to Danzig, his dam being by KEY OF LUCK . 2016 Gr.3 winner Jallota is out of a NUREYEV line mare. He also has Listed winners out of mares by PEINTRE CELEBRE and PIVOTAL and his accomplished sons Prince Gibraltar and High Rock have NUREYEV mares as their second dam.
