Shot at the Title

Breednet - Monday July 31

A new season lies ahead and this stud have such faith in their young stallion coming off a weekend featuring two impressive debut winners that they are offering mare owners a deal that is hard to resist and you just know you want to run a Hypothetical mating to see if this deal is for you!

Lean Mean Machine, test your mare with a Hypo mating.

A brilliant son of champion sire Zoustar, Lean Mean Machine has been on a slow burn with his first crop of two year-olds, but when Title Fighter won on debut at Moonee Valley on Saturday followed by The Longest Yard saluting at Bairsdale on Sunday, his name was suddenly in lights.

Lean Mean Machine is priced at $13,200 at Aquis in Queensland this spring, but if you book two mares to him and he doesn’t have at least two stakes-winners by the end of the 23/24 season, your nominations are FREE!

Lean Mean Machine has been popular covering 425 mares in four seasons including 108 last year, so he has enough ammunition in the locker going forward and if you like what you’ve seen so far, he’s going to be an appealing gamble.
