Rock Hard Ten fan here as well. Sire Kris S then to Roberto? Also a looker. PQ says Kris S only won $53K racing?
Also love Dynaformer - son of Roberto? IIRC lots of Dynaformer offspring running timber races etc - just love that!!!
I just saw a stallion in France that I fell in love with, he looked like he should be galloping the Rolex course, and he reminded me of Rock Hard Ten, who I also love.
His name is Falco, he just totally grabbed me! http://www.pedigreequery.com/falco3
Yes, he won a MDN (5.5f @ HOL), an ALW (1 1/16 @ SA) and the Bradbury S. (1 1/8 miles). At 2 he was 3-2-1-0 and he was 2-1-0-0 at 3 (winning the Bradbury)

Rock Hard Ten is just an amazing physical specimen. I wonder what his temperament is like. In a few years when Iām ready for another prospect, Iād love it if some of his get end up at my local track.[/QUOTE]
He was quite the handful and very mean. He liked to bite.

His name is a bowling term not a reference to his genitalia.[/QUOTE]
I didnāt think the subject referred to in the name necessarily belonged to the horse-and thanks Laurierace, maybe I can form a different mental picture when I hear that lovely horseās name.
Iām betting his progeny will come down quite a ways pricewise within the next 3-4 years. I hope Iām wrong, because he is indeed an impressive guy. But Kris S. hasnāt shown himself to be a sire of sires.
I went back out to my local TB farm to borrow a shadow roll and made the suggestion they move the Rock Hard Ten colt from a back paddock to a front one to pretty up the front:) I thought he was a 2 year old in trainingā¦ but no, he was a yearling just purchased at Saratoga. I put dibs on him, in case he was slow!

Thank goodness for that, because ten isnāt saying much for a horse, much less a stallion.
