About

Rock 'n' Gold is a 14yo bay gelding from Australia trained by M J Ellerton. He is sired by the stallion Rock of Gibraltar out of the dam Goldberg. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $609,400, Rock 'n' Gold is considered a racehorse of above-average ability. On 26th Jan 2019 at Caulfield, Rock 'n' Gold, ridden by Damian Lane, secured his most notable victory in the $140000 John Dillon Stakes, defeating Manolo Blahniq. Throughout his career, Rock 'n' Gold has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Rock 'n' Gold throughout his career would have yielded a 33% return on investment. Rock 'n' Gold concluded his racing career, last running on 22nd Jun 2019 at Flemington.
