Lonhro's stud career has started in pleasing fashion with a first-crop of runners including stakes winner Black Minx and the black type earners Segolene, Minnesota Shark and Shadrach.
The Woodlands Stud-bred Jylland added to the score-sheet with a fine first-up run over 1000m at Ballarat on Thursday for Sheikh Mohammed and trainer Peter Snowden. The colt, Lonhro's fifth individual winner, is out of the Stakes-winning Grand Lodge mare Avilde.
Lonhro looks set to finish the season in third place on the leading first-crop sires’ table behind fellow Darley stallion Exceed And Excel and Falbrav. The handsome son of Octagonal stands alongside his father at Denman for a fee of $55,000.
