Though he did not win any races as a two-year-old, he ran third in the Group One AJC Sires Produce Stakes.

After being unplaced in the Caulfield Guineas, he proved himself as one of the top Australian sprinters by winning the Group 1 Lightning Stakes and Oakleigh Plate[3] in February 2005.

He suffered from travel sickness and was unable to run in any race in the UK and was retired to stud.

In 2013 Fastnet Rock's fee rose again to $275,000 which made him $100,000 dearer than the second most expensive stallion in Australia, Redoute's Choice.

Other notable Stakes winners include Smart Missile, Driefontein, Cluster, Bull Point, Albany Reunion and Hvasstan.
