I thought today's headline in Breeding & Racing's Daily News "Easy Rocking Hot 1st Season Sire" was bending the truth slightly.

Yes, the Wattle Brae stallion has had a few 2yo winners of late and that's great news for the stud and investors. I am not entirely convinced however that a few winners at Kembla Grange, Doomben, Toowoomba, the Gold Coast, Ipswich and Korea should launch the headline of "hot first season sire" when one considers that to the 18th May Easy Rocking was 35th on the Australian 2yo sires chart with other freshmen sires More than Ready, Iglesia, Over, Testa Rossa, Fusaichi Pegasus, and Singspiel well ahead of him.
