BROKEN HILL (Lonhro x Mining Tycoon)
COMING SOON!
We have just managed to purchase this 3yr old Lonhro colt that comes highly recommended from the previous stable.
“Being a $460,000 Colt as a young horse he was bought by Newgate to become a future stallion prospect, and whilst showing lots of ability he’s a horse who they think very highly of but he is in desperate need of gelding as he’s become “too colty” and looking at the girls.”
– Luke Murrell
Our information from someone in the stable is “He was thought of as a Group horse the first preparation but he’s come back this prep, and whilst he’s had no luck, he needs to be gelded to make him focus as he’s not trying 100% and he’s looking after himself.”
“Generally in our experience once these horses are gelded and given time for the testosterone to leave their body they return to racing with a renewed interest and vigor and they achieve better results.”
– Luke Murrell
He’s already a city winner and has some very good form around him with multiple Saturday winner JOJO WAS A MAN & RUBINOCCHI.
“He rates very well on both my systems and he looks a genuine city standard horse.” – Luke Murrell
He will be Gelded this week and then given 2-3 weeks rest to get over it. Post this he will start training and then normally they are only 8 weeks or so from a trial.
“He is a city class horse and we plan to run him in the $100,000 highway races which are races for country trained horses. Given his ratings and his ability I think we should easily be able to win our purchase price back if things go to plan.”
– Luke Murrell
Watch this strong son of Lonhro move!
