One of Queensland’s best ever race mares, Forever Gold is about to begin her new life in the breeding barn.
After recently announcing Forever Gold’s retirement, owners Murray Cole and Beau Watson have paired Forever Gold with leading first season sire Rock N Roll Heaven.
Standing at Pepper Tree Farm in NSW, Rock N Roll Heaven has produced multiple Group winners from his first Australian crop and finished second to Bettors Delight in the 2014-15 Australian 2yo Sires premiership. Rock N Roll Heaven is also currently going head to head with Bettors Delight for the converted 3yo Sires premiership in the USA.
Forever Gold was a champion on the racetrack and had 42 race victories and earned in excess of $700,000 in stakes. She was retired late last month to reside at Egmont Park Stud on Queensland’s Darling Downs.
Her last race start was in the Group 1 Gold Coast Cup at Albion Park, a race which was preparing her for the Grand Circuit Group 1 Queensland Pacing Championship and possibly the New Zealand Cup. She finished sixth in the Gold Coast Cup won by Bling It On in record time.
On retirement her owners revealed that Forever Gold had soreness in her nearside fetlock joint, an injury that she has battled with over the past couple of seasons
