It’s with great sadness we share the passing of star mare Lucia Valentina to colic this morning.💔

A very special horse to our family, stable & connections.

Vale Lucia Valentina. 🕊️

Lonhro's big boy #EXOSPHERE has sadly passed away.... I was gutted to hear this morning. Loved photographing him in his short but stellar racetrack career and at stud.
Condolences to the teams at Oaklands Stud, Darley and Godolphin.
Rest easy 🖤

⏪ Rewind 2014

#SWEYNESSE (Lonhro x Swansea) wins the Group 3 Gloaming Stakes 1800m
Handy around the mile and up, even with a 3rd in the Grp 1 Spring Champion 2000m.
As a sire, he’s thrown a very good sprinter in #HK with LUCKY SWEYNESSE winning his 8th race in a single season!

One of the truly great winners of the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes! The mighty black flash LONHRO who won the race in 2003 on an almost unbeaten winning streak as a 4yo horse (he ran 4th to the terrific Grand Armee in the Doncaster Handicap on a soft track).

[TURFSTARS Media @LisaGrimm9]

The champion #LONHRO has been retired from stud duties at Darley.
An honour to visit and photograph you.
Ohhh what a legacy you will leave - still producing Group 1 victories with his wonderful son Lindermann winning the Rosehill Guineas recently.

TRIM ⤵️ (Lonhro x Firm) wins the Group 3 Research Stakes. It was the last win of her career.
A Darley homebred by the great Lonhro, she is the dam of recent impressive 2YO winner Barber. He is in fact her last foal, so hope his future is bright.

[Darley in Australia @DarleyAus]

🕰 In 2001, #Lonhro demolished his rivals in the G1 Caulfield Guineas over 1,600m.

#Lonhro is the people's horse: Horse of the Year, Champion sire, sire of sires and a leading broodmare sire – Lonhro’s leaving a lasting legacy.
