The
magical Fastnet Rock x Galileo cross produced another new stakes-winner at Morphettville
on Monday when talented Irish bred import Manastic (IRE) took out the Listed
SAJC CS Hayes Memorial Cup.
Previously trained by Darren Weir, Manastic was having his second start for new
trainer Chris Waller and scored a tenacious half head win in the 1600 metre
feature.
Manastic runs in the OTI Racing colours and has the overall record of three
wins and six placings from 11 starts with the promise of more to come.
He is the first winner for Foreign Legionary, a half-sister by Galileo to
multiple Group I winner Alexander Goldrun and Group III winner Medecis.
Manastic is the 144th stakes-winner for Fastnet Rock and is the 17thbred from a daughter of Galileo, seven of them Group I winners.
The cross has produced 79.7% winners to runners and 26.5% stakes-winners to
runners.
