The esteemed quartet are Rock N Roll World (three lots), Ultimate Machete (four), Ohoka Punter (six) and Luck Be Withyou (two).

Ultimate Machete and Ohoka Punter, who were awarded NZ 3YO Colt of the Year in 2017 and 2013 respectively, are both sons of the incomparable Bettor’s Delight.

Rock N Roll World (1:48.6) is a Stakes-winning son of the great Rocknroll Hanover and the millionaires Worldly Beauty, while Luck Be Withyou (1:47.8), a US Breeders Crown champion at two, is a product of Rocknroll Hanover’s sire Western Ideal.
