Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 17

Fastnet Rock’s super talented daughter Passive Aggressive has been retired to stud following a below par run in the Group I SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes.

"She's so well bred and she didn't come out perfect from her Adelaide run," Grahame Begg advised.

"She would have needed a bit longer spell than normal and she wouldn't have been ready for the spring, so it was a pretty easy call really.

"I am sure she is going to be a big-ticket item at stud."

Bought by Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock at Inglis Easter for $500,000, Passive Aggressive was bred and sold by Cressfield.

She raced for Jonathan Munz’s Pinecliff Racing and won five of eight starts with over $500,000 in prizemoney.

Although not a Group I winner, she had that level of ability winning the Group II ATC Challenge Stakes beating Don Eduardo and Giga Kick.

Passive Aggressive also has the pedigree behind her as a full sister to Group III winning and multiple Group I placed sprinter Missrock, who won over $1.3million.

Passive Aggressive is the final foal from Group III winning Strategic mare Miss Judgement, who was retired from stud duties in 2021 and is a sibling to Group I winner Mrs Onassis and Group III winners Fifth Avenue Lady and Aussies Love Sport.

The value of this prolific Black Type female family was highlighted when Missrock was offered off the track at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in 2019 where she fetched $2.3million to the bid of John and Jake Warren and was exported to the UK.

Passive Aggressive is set to be covered by Australia’s best stallion I Am Invincible this spring.
