Lonhro-

Lonhro
Brown 1998 16.1hh
Octagonal / Shadea
A
handy two year-old Lonhro won twice as a juvenile including
the Group 3 MRC Blue Diamond Prelude.
In
his classic year he was unbeaten in seven starts and
he made it eight straight when successful first up at
four, a year in which he later had a sequence of five
victories.
As
a three year-old, Lonhro, although unbeaten, was not
as good as his sire but he was an exciting prospect,
especially in the spring when he claimed the Group 2
AJC Warwick Stakes (1300m), in race record time; Group
3 AJC Ming Dynasty Stakes (1400m); STC Listed Heritage
Stakes (1200m); AJC Stan Fox Stakes (1400m); and the
Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas (1600m). He had been favourite
each time.
Lonhro’s
best campaigns were during his four and five year-old
seasons in which he stirred racegoers with 17 wins that
featured 10 at Group I level in 23 starts.
His
success at four were the Group 3 STC Missile Stakes
(1100m); Group 2 NSW Tattersall’s Chelmsford Stakes
(1600m); Group I MRC Yalumba Stakes (2000m); VRC Mackinnon
Stakes (2000m); Group 2 AJC Expressway Stakes (1200m);
Apollo Stakes (1400m); Group I Chipping Norton Stakes
(1600m); STC George Ryder Stakes (1500m) and the Group
I AJC Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).
|
As
a five year-old Lonhro finished his career with wins in
the Group 2 AJC Warwick Stakes (1400m); Group I Sydney
Tattersall’s Chelmsford Stakes (1600m); George Main
Stakes (1600m); MRC Yalumba Stakes (2000m); C F Orr Stakes
(1400m); Group 2 St George Stakes (1800m); Group I VRC
Australian Cup (2000m); and STC George Ryder Stakes (1500m)
in race record time.
At
the conclusion of the season Lonhro polled 153 of the
162 votes, when he was named Horse of the Year. He was
also voted Middle Distance Champion.
At
the end of Lonhro’s career the astute veteran racing
journalist, Bill Whittaker, showed his admiration for
Lonhro in an article in the Sydney Morning Herald:
“The
difference between a good horse and a great one can be
summed up in one word, acceleration, and Lonhro has it
Ferrari style.
“He
is the supreme weight-for-age horse, able to carry a heft
weight, travel at slow speed without pulling then sprint
very fast without being whipped.
“He
is an honest, generous, no nonsense, thoroughly sound
racehorse maintaining top form for four seasons,”
Whittaker wrote.

Third
living foal of
Cherine
(Robellino / Escrime)
Cherine
a winner in Great Brittian and
producer of the very promising 3YO 'Grager'
also trained by Gerald Ryan who is already a city winner
and heading towards stakes races this Autumn according
to her trainer.

Lonhro
Lonhro / Cherine |
Cherine
hails from an oustanding sire's
family including Kris, Deisis, Keen
and Perpendicular.
This
colt is extremely athletic and looks like a real runner.
I believe he will sprint early and get out to around 1600m
on his pedigree and conformation.
I
thought this colt was the nicest Lonhro colt in the Magic
Millions sale.
This
exciting colt will be paid up for the
$6million Magic Millions race series
also-
*The $3.5million Golden Slipper
*The $1million Golden Rose
*The $1million Blue Diamond Stakes
*BOBS bonus scheme
**This
athletic colt was vetted at the sales as attached below
with clean x-rays.
