ABOUT YANKEE ROCKSTAR

Eleven-year-old Yankee Rockstar has arrived back at Llowalong Farms in Kyabram, now in the ownership of Dr Kath & Luke McIntosh, guaranteeing him a permantent home in the north. He joins his dam, the American-bred mare Aston Villa, as well as his younger half-brother Poster Boy (also available at stud) and half-sister Yankee Showgirl at Llowalong. Yankee Rockstar is the first-born colt of the award-winning Artsplace broodmare Aston Villa and sired by the proven sire of sires, Rocknroll Hanover giving him the same cross as Rock N Roll Heaven and King Of Swing.

Yankee Rockstar gave notice from day one of his racing career of his exciting ability. His first seven starts as a two-year-old and early three-year-old resulted in a picket fence of seven victories: in each of them he blazed a last quarter in 27 with change. His first defeat came at the hands of the Australian 3YO Pacer of the Year in Bling It On, when narrowly beaten in the Group 2 Chokin 3YO Championship at Tabcorp Park Menangle - his personal time clocked at 1:52.5.

Yankee Rockstar closed out his racing career in a heat of the 2016 Inter Dominions at Gloucester Park with a resume of 35 starts for 22 wins, seven placings and $329,048 in the bank. Along the way, he defeated horses the calibre of Yayas Hot Spot (1:50.9, $706,328), Major Crocker (1:49.4, $980,287), Hectorjayjay (1:50.5, $1,161,610), Ohoka Punter (1:52.4, $1,177,323) and Messini (1:54.2, $711,711).

Yankee Rockstar was retired to stud after the 2017 breeding season had begun and so only bred a small number of mares resulting in five live foals. His oldest foals are now four-year-olds, with eight winners from his sixteen starters. They include Rock Artist (1:56.4) whose winning margins total more than 26m and four-time-winning filly Champagne Rockstar (1:56.4). The progeny of Yankee Rockstar are strong and a good size, and are impressing breeders and trainers with their kind temperaments.

Importantly, all horses resulting from a 2022 season mating are automatically eligible for the $400,000 Llowalong Farms Vicbred 2YO Bonus Scheme. The owner of any Yankee Rockstar progeny who wins any of the Vicbred Super Series 2YO Finals (any sex or gait) will be paid a $100,000 bonus on top of the advertised prizemoney and futurity bonuses.
