New Zealand Bloodstock sales graduate ROCK N ROLL KID (NZ) (Justice Prevails ex Winter's Tale by Icelandic) continued his winning form by taking out the Group 2 feature M$800,000 Macau Cup (1500m) at Taipa on Saturday evening.
Also the winner of this event in 2004, the seven year old gelding now has ten wins to his credit in Macau and continues to prove his ability as one of the highest rated horses racing there. Previously racing in New Zealand as Juryman, Saturday's performance brings his tally of career wins to 13.
