Four Year-old Season
At age four Rock Hard Ten developed physically into one of the largest colts to hit the track in history standing 17.3 hands. In that season he won the grade two Charles H. Strub Stakes, then one of the biggest prizes for an older horse in the grade one Santa Anita Handicap and then the grade two Goodwood Breeders' Cup Handicap in succession. Rock Hard Ten finished his career with an in-the-money percentage of 82%. Out of eleven career starts, the grandson of Epsom Derby winner Roberto won seven, placed once, and came in third once.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“She, O, she is fallen
Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea
Hath drops too few to wash her clean again
And salt too little which may season give
To her foul tainted flesh!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
