A high-class performer at two, three and four years of age, Haras de Montaigu stallion Prince Gibraltar (by Rock Of Gibraltar) is by the sire of Group 1-siring stallions Mount Nelson and Society Rock, and he had 52 foals in his first crop.
​
Timeform rated him 116 at two, 124 at three and 125 at four, his top-level wins came in the 10-furlong Criterium de Saint-Cloud and 12-furlong Grosser Preis von Baden, and his string of notable placings included third to The Grey Gatsby in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby).

He is a full-brother to listed scorer Princess Gibraltar, his dam is five-time winner Princess Sofia (by Pennekamp), and that mare’s siblings include stakes winner and notable broodmare Queen Catherine (by Machiavellian) – the dam of Group 3 winner and Group 1 Oaks d’Italia runner-up Lady Catherine (by Bering) who is, in turn, the grandam of Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes heroine and Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes runner-up llluminate (by Zoffany).

Third dam Princess Karenda (by Gummo) won the Grade 1 Hollywood Oaks and Grade 1 Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap, and that mare’s siblings include Big Puddles (by Delta Judge), the Grade 3-winning dam of Grade 1-placed Grade 2 scorer and somewhat successful sire Thunder Puddles (by Speak John).

Two-year-old winners for Prince Gibraltar are likely to come late in the season and although he may get the occasional miler, he promises to get his best results in the middle-distance and staying divisions.

Dual Group 1 sprint star Society Rock was a hugely popular member of the team at Tally-Ho Stud up to the time of his premature death in May and there are 111 known individuals in his first crop.

He was a son of star miler Rock of Gibraltar (by Danehill) and so by the sire of successful blacktype sire Mount Nelson. The broad Danehill (by Danzig) line is one of the most powerful in Europe.

He was out of High Society (by Key of Luck), she won the Listed Rochestown Stakes when trained in Ireland, added another listed contest when she crossed the Atlantic, and she was placed in both the Grade 2 Honeymoon Breeders' Cup Handicap and the Grade 3 Senorita Stakes.

Her dam's half-brother Muhim (by Pas De Seul) won the Queen Elizabeth II Cup in Hong Kong, and Celestial Dawn (by Don), who was a half-sister to the third dam of Society Rock, won the Group 3 Cherry Hinton Stakes and finished fourth in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes in 1973.

Society Rock, who was inbred 3x4 to Danzig (by Northern Dancer) and 4x4x5 to Northern Dancer (by Nearctic), outran the distaff side of his pedigree. His progeny are likely to include mostly sprinters and milers, summer and autumn juveniles, and there may be at least a few who will be blacktype horses.
