Champion Sunline had her first meeting in the breeding shed. The Desert Sun mare was covered by seven-time group I winner Rock of Gibraltar at Coolmore Australia.

Rock of Gibraltar, who is standing his first season, is widely regarded as Danehill's best son on the track, and he has been touted as the heir apparent to his father on both sides of the globe.

A refined, athletic type, Rock of Gibraltar looks physically suited to Sunline, who despite being particularly strong is not overly attractive.

With a combined total of 20 group I wins, the two have certainly set a high standard for the resultant foal.
