Lord Barrington (NZ)

When you've marked a colt as potentially the best Guineas horse on the sales ground, you don't them slip from your grasp.

We're in the business of providing our clients the best opportunities we find in our quest for success at the elite levels and this is an outstanding prospect. And we know a lot about his top class international family.

We trained his dam in NZ and believe she had much more to offer on the racetrack had she not fractured a cannon bone in training at two. A $100K Karaka Premier yearling purchase herself by Paul Moroney Bloodstock, Della Lobra has passed her imposing physique onto this colt, adding the muscle and power of her dam sire Stravinsky.

Of course, Ballymore had great success with Della Lobra's brother, QTC Stradbroke Handicap (G1) winner Mr Baritone and this family has more recently produced this season's leading 3yo filly in NZ, Fix (a grand-daughter of English G1 winner Prophecy), whose dam Destined (GB) was yet another Paul Moroney Bloodstock selection as a broodmare prospect up north so our knowledge of this outstanding bloodline runs deep and gives us further confidence that we've bagged a potential superstar.
