Fastnet Rock stallion Cluster will begin his breeding career at Larneuk Stud in Victoria this year.

The G2 winner of the Theo Marks Stakes and two other races is one of four winners produced by the talented Tarcoola Diamond, a Listed winner and two times Group placed.

Also dam of the stakes placed Inkling and the multiple city winners Diamond Jim and Novikov, Tarcoola Diamond is one of eight winners for the metropolitan winning Bletchingly mare Potent, also dam of triple Listed winner Chickaloo.

Her dam I Like Diamonds was also high class winner of the G1 AJC Champagne Stakes.

"He is a horse who we think will really appeal to Victorian breeders," said Larneuk Stud’s Neville Murdoch.

"He is a magnificent type with great scope, strength and presence.

"Danehill, Last Tycoon and Bletchingly are all great influences and he is a horse who looks ideal for the VOBIS schemes."

Cluster stands at a debut fee of $6600 incl gst.
