Allwood Stud Farm, the biggest and most successful standardbred nursery in Western Australia, bred 20 individual winners across three States in July.

The record haul was headed up by the winners of both $30,000 Westsired 3YO Classics, run at Gloucester Park), in Arionrock (gelding) and World Secret (filly). Other Gloucester Park winners have been the three-year-old Maximum Rock and Allaglow.

Allwood Stud bred four winners at Northam (Follow The Milkyway, Twelve Oclock Rock, Pushbutton Rock and Southern Rock), a treble at Gloucester Park (Star Of Willoughby, Arionrock and World Secret) and a double at Pinjarra with Goggins and Shes A Dactyl.

Resident stallion Fly Like An Eagle sired eight individual winners during July including the Gloucester Park victors Noble Thorondor and Allaglow, the three-year-old Honour The Eagle and Fear The Eagle (1:55.9).

The stud owned Follow The Stars, who stands at Medowie Lodge in NSW, had another huge month with 13 individual winners. They included the Gloucester Park winners Torrevean Pinky and Star Of Willoughby, Make It Quick (Bunbury), Rip Jackson (Penrith), Beejay’s Star (Mildura) and Per Ardua Ad Astra (Port Pirie).

The defunct Rock N Roll World continues to churn out the winners. Besides the Westsired Classic winners Arionrock and World Secret, he was represented by the ‘new’ two-year-old winners Rocky Maguire, Run Bob Run and Southern Rock and the three-year-olds Hot Rockefeller, Maximum Rock, Twelve Oclock Rock and Pushbutton Rock.
