Win in G1 Fourstardave by Generazio’s Disco Partner would guarantee him chance at stud, furthering legacy of his underrated sire Disco Rico. I think he’s the most likely winner, but want to try steadily improving and well-handled Ballagh Rocks at what will be a nice number and the mile trip may be what suits him best.
