ROCK MAKES A SPLASH FRESH

Promising gelding Rock The Bar made a winning return to the races over 1200m at Echuca on Sunday. 

The Danny O'Brien-trained four-year-old overcame the outside alley to cruise to victory under the urgings of jockey Billy Egan. 

"It was a good effort as he is such a big horse. He wobbled around the bend and then took some riding to get going,  then he hit the front and had a good look around!  It was soft on the line and he has a lot of improvement to come," Egan said post race. 

 O'Brien stable representative Matt Harrington was thrilled with the son of Toronado's victory.  

"He is building a nice profile having won three races from his six starts. We will now keep raising the bar for him and see how far he can go,"
