First time I've ever seen a mistake in Racing Post... on the sidebar it says Red Rocks.
You will, of course, visit him for me... right?
Red Clubs to shuttle to New Zealand
Red Clubs was a talented two-year-old who tasted Group 1 glory in the Hyadock Sprint Cup

.
RED CLUBS will stand at Michael Tololi's Stoney Bridge Stud in New Zealand for the upcoming southern hemisphere season, where he will command a fee of NZ$15,000 (£5,839/7,309).
The deal, which was brokered by Will Barrons and Richard Venn, means that the Tally-Ho Stud resident joins Stravinsky as one of only two European champion sprinters to stand in New Zealand.
To have secured a current European champion who is by a stallion held in extremely high regard in Australasia is just fantastic, said Peter Jenkins, manager of Stoney Bridge.
We have been searching for a brilliant speed sire-prospect for some time, and Red Clubs ticks all the boxes, he added.
Trained by Barry Hills, Red Clubs was a tough and talented two-year-old, winning three of nine races, including the Group 2 Coventry Stakes. The son of Red Ransom later added successes in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup and Group 2 Diadem Stakes to his record.
Red Clubs is currently standing his first northern hemisphere season at a fee of 12,500.
