fastnet rock is an australian thoroughbred racehorse stallion .

sired by danehill to dam piccadilly circus , he started his racing career in 2004 .

though he did not win any races as a two-year-old , he ran third in the group one ajc sires produce stakes .

he found great success after turning three years old .

after being unplaced in the caulfield guineas , he proved himself as one of the top australian sprinters by winning the group 1 lightning stakes and oakleigh plate in february , 2005 .

trainer paul perry wished fastnet rock to repeat the successful english campaign by choisir , who is trained by perry , in 2003 .

after he ran second in the t j smith stakes in march 2005 , fastnet rock was sent to the united kingdom to prepare for the group 1 golden jubilee stakes and july cup .

unfortunately , he suffered from travel sickness and was unable to run in any race in the uk and was retired to stud .

the number of mares fastnet rock has been covering since coolmore stud decided to shuttle the horse to its irish base from 2010 is staggering .

fastnet rock had covered 257 mares in 2007 , behind only bel esprit ( 266 ) .

the most dominant group one winning son of fastnet rock , sire of 27 individual gr 1 winners .
half a lifetime ago : fastnet rock in his 2005 racing days before becoming a stud sensation for ireland ' s coolmore .
one person who didn’t doubt fastnet rock was perry . he recognised a toughness in the youngster that others not so close to the stable didn’t see .
coolmore stud , the big spending conglomerate that outlays a small fortune on the international search for stallions , must feel the irony that fastnet rock has fallen in its lap . this was a horse coolmore couldn’t sell and retained in hope more than with great expectation .
a winning double at sha tin on sunday for champion sire fastnet rock highlighted his success in hong kong this season where he is the leading sire by individual winners .
his four - month - old colt foal from 2002 us horse of the year azeri fetched a mammoth $ 2 . 58 million to the bid of agent shigehisa tanabe , who described the colt as the ' ' perfect horse ' ' .
last year fastnet rock covered 391 mares , 17 more than in 2011 , and 105 more than in 2010 when he made a belated trip to ireland after his progeny achieved sensational racetrack performances .
the australian stud book has released covering figures for the just - completed breeding season and topping the list of busiest sires was coolmore ' s fastnet rock , who covered 248 mares at a fee of $ 82 , 500 .
fastnet rock had one yearling catalogued , and the colt proved popular before being knocked down for $ 540 , 000 . he had great appeal on the mare ' s pedigree page , being closely related to epsom derby winner pour moi .
the icing on the cake for coolmore is that fastnet rock also is shaping as a sire of sires . his best sons are fast and tough—much like him—and in most cases better looking thanks to the astute selection of the mares he has covered .
“ a spectacular grade one winning sprinter , your song is by fastnet rock from a powerful family that traces to a three - quarters sister to nearctic , the sire of northern dancer . your song is the leading freshman sire by individual winners . ”
fastnet rock carries nijinsky ii through royal academy , a very close relative to storm bird and there are ten stakes winners by fastnet rock out of storm cat line mares , including group one winners out of daughters of forest wildcat , giant’s causeway ( sire of shamardal ) and hennessy ( sire of johannesburg ) . storm cat should also be particularly good through tale of the cat and catrail . from the bluebird branch , fastnet rock has a group winner out of a mare by lake coniston , and this strain could also be brought in through dolphin street . the minstrel is three - quarters brother to nijinsky ii and closely related to storm bird , and can be brought in through palace music , naturalism and masterclass . doubling nijinsky ii through whiskey road might also pay dividends .
the yearling was sent to harry and arthur mitchell’s yarraman park stud to be broken in and educated . even then , the horse was on the market but the interest in him was minimal .
for a horse most people doubted would race until he was a three - year - old , fastnet rock proved an incredibly durable juvenile , despite not winning a race . his golden slipper run was his sixth for his first campaign—including seconds in the group 3 skyline stakes and group 2 pago pago stakes—and it didn’t finish there . he backed up a week after the slipper for his third run in 14 days to finish fifth behind dance hero in the group 1 ajc sires’ produce stakes ( 1400m ) at randwick .
fastnet rock’s speed - oriented pedigree is a major factor in his success , but also his immense size means that he is throwing fillies with great strength and bone—and a big advantage over their female rivals . atlantic jewel , irish lights and mosheen are group 1 winning fillies with a tremendous turn - of - foot .
fastnet rock ' s irish service fee is about €60 , 000 ( $ 85 , 000 ) . should the rising 12 - year - old son of danehill get the same numbers this year as he did a year earlier , then coolmore could be looking at a $ 50 million - plus worldwide return from breeders .
in the spring , fastnet rock , after finishing second behind charge forward—dance hero third—in the group 2 san domenico stakes ( 1000m , randwick ) , finally broke through with wins in the group 2 up and coming stakes ( 1200m , warwick farm ) and the group 3 roman consul stakes ( 1200m , warwick farm ) .
in the autumn , fastnet rock , mature and primed , won the first two legs of the melbourne sprint treble—the group 1 lightning stakes ( 1000m , flemington ) and the group 1 oakleigh plate ( 1100m ) —before his terrific second behind the brilliant alinghi in a memorable group 1 newmarket handicap ( 1200m ) at flemington .
fastnet rock sired the brilliant smart missile out of a mare by comic strip , who is by red ransom , who would be excellent through domesday . mares from the blushing groom line through such as orientate , housebuster , quest for fame , viscount , spectrum and fantastic light and with snippets line also look promising here .

his sire sons include danehill dancer ( 173 ) , redoute ' s choice ( 159 ) , exceed and excel ( 145 ) , fastnet rock ( 137 ) , dansili ( 129 ) , rock of gibraltar ( 122 ) , flying spur ( 99 ) , commands ( 77 ) , holy roman emperor ( 74 ) , oratorio ( 52 ) , tiger hill ( 49 ) , kodiac ( 43 ) , danzero ( 40 ) , blackfriars ( 38 ) , darci brahma ( 36 ) , etc .
surprisingly , because of his size and relative backward nature , fastnet rock emerged as a spring two - year - old . he finished second in a trial at randwick in september , but perry set him aside without a race . in the autumn , the big horse emerged as a golden slipper contender ; a race in which he finished a game fourth behind dance hero in record time—splitting them was the outstanding eventual group 1 winners charge forward , now a leading sire , and the crack filly alinghi . it was a “hot” slipper , because behind him were dane shadow and econsul .
“i’ve been telling people since the day he retired , he’ll make a stallion this horse . that’s why myself and my father bred to him . he certainly looks the real deal right now doesn’t he ? ” trainer , anthony cummings .
banstead manor also revealed frankel ' s owner - breeder khalid abdullah sent 24 of his mares to the son of galileo , and predicted a return of £13 , 625 , 000 if all the other mares deliver healthy foals . it is a marvellous performance and only one season , but australia ' s established super - stallion fastnet rock has produced superior figures .
your song has first crop stakes winner split lip out of a mare by blevic , a son of scenic , from the sadler’s wells line . fastnet rock has done extremely well with this line with successful sources including sadler’s wells himself , as well as galileo ( sire of teofilo and new approach ) , el prado ( sire of medaglia d’oro and artie schiller ) , barathea , entrepreneur and singspiel , also inviting daughters of such as montjeu and carnegie . there is a group winner by fastnet rock out of a mare by encosta de lago – a son of sadler’s wells’ brother fairy king – suggesting trying your song with other sons of fairy king , such as helissio and falbrav . from the line of nureyev – a three - quarters brother to sadler’s wells – fastnet rock has two group one winners out of daughters of peintre celebre , a group one winner out of a mare by polar falcon ( sire of pivotal ) , and champion mosheen out of a daughter of stravinsky . mares by nureyev sons spinning world and fasliyev could also be tried here . fastnet rock a group winner out of a mare by al hareb , a son of el gran senor . this would encourage trying daughters of last tycoon ( by try my best , a brother to el gran senor ) , the sire of marju , monde bleu , bigstone , towkay , iglesia , and grandsire of written tycoon . mares by general nediym could also prove clever here .
the chart below tells the story of fastnet rock ' s performances , and there is no sign of him stopping . he ' s just completed another huge book of mares in ireland and will be back home in the hunter valley for another big harem , which will include many of the best mares in the country at an industry - leading fee of $ 275 , 000 .
perry took the colt to england for the royal ascot carnival , but he didn’t run there after developing travel sickness . it was a shame , because a win at royal ascot would have fulfilled coolmore’s desire to “make” fastnet rock a dual - hemisphere shuttle stallion—maximising profits—as he certainly was as good as , if not better than , choisir . his australian record certainly suggested he was .
due to equine influenza in 2007 , five of the six most used stallions were based in victoria but with a return to normality last year , god ' s own , who served 196 mares , was the sole victorian horse in the top 20 sires .
banstead manor stud , the home of england ' s super horse frankel , this week released the record of the unbeaten galloper ' s first breeding season . he commanded a £125 , 000 ( $ 205 , 000 ) service fee following his superb racing career .
the cross of fastnet rock and sons with mr . prospector line mares has yielded nearly 30 stakes winners , including group one winners out of mares by fusaichi pegasus , kingmambo ( sire of dubai destination and king’s best ) , el moxie and lion cavern ( a brother to gone west who should be extremely good here through elusive quality , and through zamindar , zafonic and xaar ) . there are five fastnet rock stakes winners out of mares by woodman ( sire of timber country and hector protector ) , as well as stakes winners from daughters of distorted humor , jade robbery , machiavellian ( sire of street cry , grandsire of street sense ) , hussonet , thunder gulch , bachelor duke and his sire miswaki ( also sire of umatilla ) , and dash for cash and his sire secret savings .
the decision by john messara’s iconic arrowfield stud to chase smart missile as a stallion should be recommendation enough for breeders . smart missile may not be a group 1 winner , but nobody will doubt he was a group 1 - class horse . at two , he was the only horse to beat the champion sepoy—in the group 2 todman slipper stakes ( 1200m , rosehill ) —and , of course , smart missile lost the chance to prove that form when he was withdrawn from the slipper at the barrier . sepoy went on to win .
the japan horse racing association yearling sales at hokkaido broke all records on monday when the progeny of the country ' s top stallion deep impact met phenomenal demand . day one turnover was $ 67 . 2 million for 226 lots sold at an average of $ 297 , 322 .
fastnet rock was raced by the group from coolmore who owned piccadilly circus when she raced for trainer lee freedman , including sue magnier , wife of coolmore’s principal john magnier , coolmore’s bloodstock agent demi o’byrne , and \ three men from the australian arm of the irish - based outfit , michael kirwan and duncan grimley , who at the time were joint general managers , and chairman ken barry . ( grimley has since left coolmore . )
although fastnet rock had the “look of a three - year - old” , there were doubters that he was genuine a - grade . he seemed to lack an explosive turn - of - foot , and some people felt he had been given too tough a campaign as a youngster in coolmore’s quest to give him an elusive group 1 as a two - year - old to cement a huge value on him as a stallion prospect .
the big horse was a gangly , dopey , boof - headed yearling , but there were no takers at his reserve price of $ 300 , 000 at the 2003 inglis easter yearling sale despite the fact he was by the champion sire danehill from a very precocious sprinting filly , piccadilly circus ( b m royal academy ( usa ) - gatana , by marauding ( nz ) ) .
rothesay was a crack racehorse from the start for trainer gerald ryan , who rated the horse highly . he lived up to his reputation with a brilliant , storming victory in the 2009 group 2 queensland guineas ( 1600m , eagle farm ) and at four he beat all but more joyous in the group 2 theo marks stakes ( 1400m , rosehill ) before injury forced his retirement after only nine starts .

therock was an eye - catching horse from early on—he was a $ 407 , 000 magic millions weanling in 2007 . started his career with a bit of fanfare for trainer gerald ryan after winning three trials as a 2yo . raced twice at two before emerging in the 2009 spring as a 3yo to win consecutive races at warwick farm and rosehill , but a leg injury stopped him going to christchurch for the group 1 nz 2000 guineas .
wanted is fastnet rock’s first group 1 winner and his first son to be retired to stud . after a string of outstanding group 1 placings behind some great horses , wanted won the 2010 group 1 newmarket handicap ( 1200m , flemington ) . conservatively used in his first season because he is a rig—wanted covered 75 mares—but he stepped up to 112 mares last season with strong fertility figures . his commercial stud career is assured . his first crop foals have been the highlight of the 2012 weanling sales season , selling for $ 255 , 000 ( colt from regal arena , by arena ) , $ 190 , 000 ( filly from aquatint , by supremo ( usa ) ) and $ 117 , 500 ( colt from vestment , by danasinga ) .

hi david , just to comment on the piece you mention about sacrificing animals for our sins . how does the animal who the one who is sacrificing , atone for our sins , as we ' re not sacrificing anything ? it ' s the animal who suffers , not us . why does g - d even need or want an animal dead ? reply
god never tells israel why something is clean or unclean . he never gives a reason for the definition of clean or unclean . for centuries , men have tried to give reasons for these definitions of clean and unclean , and wenham’s commentary outlines four , which i think are worthy of mentioning . why is one kind of food clean and another kind of food unclean ?
in jewish orthodox terminology , an animal is clean if it is edible . if the animal in question has four legs , it must have split hooves and chew its cud . since dogs do neither , they are unclean and , therefore , inedible . i don’t believe that means that an orthodox jew is not allowed to have a dog for a pet : many jews definitely kept equally unclean horses in not so distant past .

ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean , and between unclean fowls and clean : and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast , or by fowl , or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground , which i have separated from you as unclean .
fourth , there is the category of dead animals which are unclean . essentially , any dead animal other than an animal which has been killed through the sacrificial process in the front of the door of the tent of meeting is unclean . there are unclean animals that will defile in their death , and there are clean animals that will defile man in their death , if their death is not a sacrificial death . the carcasses are that which can contaminate , therefore if a person eats a cow which has just been killed by a wolf , that person would be ceremonially unclean even though he could eat the meat if it were sacrificed to god .
' this is the law of the beasts and the birds and every living soul that moves in the waters , and of every living soul that creeps on the earth , to distinguish between the unclean and the clean , and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten . '
leviticus 11 : 45 to 47

( articles in the jewish encyclopedia under “poultry” and “clean and unclean animals” provide additional helpful information . )
and all the teeming life with wings are unclean to you ; they shall not be eaten .
israel had to learn to distinguish between the clean and the unclean , the holy and the unholy .
 if a man sleeps with her , he will be affected by the uncleanness of her monthly periods . he shall be unclean for seven days . any bed he lies on will be unclean .
dogs are unclean according to islam . so are dogs really dirty and should be away from humans ?
first , in chapter 11 , cleanness and uncleanness has to do principally with food . it deals secondarily with cleanness or uncleanness that is the result of contact with a dead animal , but it seems the reason the dead animal is called unclean is because we couldn’t eat it . even a clean animal , a bull or a sheep , could not be eaten if it were not killed in a sacrificially prescribed way . so it has to do with food or that which is touched when dead .
the carcass of any animal that divides the foot , but is not cloven - hoofed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you . . . and whatever goes on its paws , among all kinds of animals that go on all fours , these are unclean to you .
( leviticus 11 : 26 - 28 )
if you study all the unclean of the list in the bible they all eat an animal or bird as food as well as other things as a main part of their diet . they are 2nd , 3rd and 4th order consumers .
being that the animal has paws precludes us from eating it . but then we see that when it comes to touching these animals the verse clarifies that anyone that who touches their carcass will be unclean until the even ( evening , dusk , end of the day ) . the use of the word ' carcass ' deals with the body of the animal being dead .
and the leper in whom the plague is , his clothes shall be rent , and his head bare , and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip , and shall cry , unclean , unclean .
the torah gave signs to distinguish between ritually clean and unclean beasts , fish , and vermin . the torah also gave a list of unclean birds , to teach us that all other birds were ritually clean .
so we see that romans 14 is talking about defiled food rather than flesh taken from an animal that god has declared to be unclean . as we have already talked about defiled hands , let ' s look at food offered to idols :
