Pop Rock (ポップロック poppu rokku) (March 19, 2001 - ) is a Japanese racehorse trained by Katsuhiko Sumii. Pop Rock is best known for having placed second in the 2006 Melbourne Cup, ridden by Damien Oliver. It was Damien Oliver's 17th time racing in the Melbourne Cup. By the time the race was run, Pop Rock had effectively become joint favourite with a lot of money being placed in the hours before the race. Pop Rock has since been sold to new owners and is now trained in Ireland by Takashi Kodama. Pop Rock won on his European debut at Galway Racecourse in July 2010.
