He really is to the manor born: Cluster's sire, Fastnet Rock needs little introduction with a 70% winners to runners strike rate, multiple Champion Sires' titles, 178 million progeny earnings and 148 stakes winners. Importantly, not only does Fastnet Rock remain a top 5 Australian Sire, his sire sons include Smart Missile, the late Hinchinbrook, Foxwedge, Rothesay and Your Song – all in the current top 40. A full brother to Group placed Miss Que and half to the multiple stakes placed Inkling, Cluster is from the Flemington stakes winner and Group Two placed, Tarcoola Diamond, who is, in turn, from a daughter of Group One winning 2YO, I Like Diamonds. With many of the Fastnet Rock progeny training on, there is already plenty of excitement around the first crop of Cluster with last season's 2YOs including the stakes placed winner, Gee Gees Darl, multiple winner Galaxy and, now the promising 3YO, Tocatchacod. ![](https://livetradingnews-media.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp/placeholder.svg) www.larneuk.com --- This Markdown mirrors https://www.livetradingnews.com/the-victorian-cluster-that-is-good-news.
