Lonhro cracks ton

Champion stallion reaches century of winners for Australian racing season in record time

Lonhro recorded his 100th winner for the 2013/14 Australian racing season when Vision Retract claimed the Sunnylake Shores Handicap over 1100m at Wyong, Febraury 6.

The century of winners was set by Lonhro in record time, with no stallion in history having achieved the feat by the first week in February.

Bred by Ron Gilbert at Highgrove Stud, Vision Retract is out of city-winning Flying Spur mare Retract, a half-sister to Regard, the dam of G1 winning Commands mare Commanding Jewel and her star half-sister Atlantic Jewel.

Lonhro has a clear buffer at the top of the leading sires list by winners and recorded his sixth career G1 winner last month when three-year-old filly Bounding won the G1 Railway Stakes in New Zealand.

Lonhro has 12 yearlings catalogued for the Melbourne Premier yearling sale at the end of this month and 25 yearlings catalogued for the Inglis Easter yearling sale.
