About

Mornington R8 Sportsbet Mornington Cup — Strawberry Rock is a 8yo bay gelding (male) from Ireland trained by Ciaron Maher, who is based at Cranbourne. He is sired by the stallion Rock Of Gibraltar out of the dam Strawberry Vodka. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $631,400 in career earnings, Strawberry Rock is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 9th Feb 2025 at Hobart, Strawberry Rock was ridden by Declan Bates and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $250000 Open Handicap, defeating Promises Kept.
