Champion sire Lonhro very nearly had a Group I winner in the US last Friday when Parlor went down by a nose in the Group I Maker’s Mark Mile at Keeneland , the result of special significance as he has a close relation to be offered at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in foal to Lonhro.
Bred from the family of two time Australian Horse of the Year Makybe Diva, Lonhro gelding Jolly Banner is still going strong at age eight, claiming a second Black Type success with victory at Sha Tin on Sunday in the Group III Premier Cup (1400m).
