Lonhro. Now a champion in two stratospheres

The great racehorse, and now stallion Lonhro (Octagonal - Shadea) has joined rare company.  In the 2010-2011 Racing Season, Lonhro, with only 5 crops to race, joined Vain as the only Champion Racehorse of the Year to also win a Champion Stallion of the Year.  Lonhro was Champion Racehorse of the Year in 2004.  I will be photographing him for Darley Australia at the end of this month, and will make sure we take the prerequisite 20kg bag of carrots along for all the boys to share.
