He could not fairly attain the century like his ‘uncle’ did, however Joe Pleasure is assured we’ll be seeing his powerful stayer Stockman sticking round for a while.
The seven-year-old lately notched his half-century and already has greater than $1.7 million within the financial institution for his connections and can be out so as to add to the tally in Tuesday’s group 3 $250,000 Schweppes Summer time Cup (2000m) at Randwick.

Pleasure sees slightly of former stalwart Future’s Kiss, whose mom is a half-sister to Stockman and who had 102 begins for 19 wins together with 10 at listed degree, within the gelding.
Stockman has a bunch 3 win amongst his 4 stakes successes and Pleasure is assured he’ll have each probability so as to add to that over the following few years.
“In human phrases he’s Future’s Kiss’s uncle and he’s similar to him,″ Pleasure mentioned.
“Future’s raced on [for] over 100 begins, this horse has had 50 now and I may see him simply clocking up 70 or 80 begins. There’s one other couple of seasons left in him but.”
Future’s Kiss had three makes an attempt on the Summer time Cup, his greatest effort a 3rd in 2013. Tuesday can be Stockman’s second tilt on the race having run fourth as a $4.40 probability in 2021 on an excellent monitor.
Key to Stockman’s Summer time Cup hopes is the monitor situation as Pleasure is effectively conscious of his document on good floor – that lone win in his stats from 24 begins on good floor was his maiden again in 2020.
He appreciated a comfortable floor when scoring within the listed Christmas Cup (2400m) and backs up after ending 3.3 lengths from Grebeni below 62kg when again to a mile at Randwick on December 16.
