2001 Caulfield Guineas Lonhro settled last before pulling out wide to the centre of the track to start his run on the home turn. Inside the final 50 metres, he swept to the front from Pure Theatre and Ustinov as Viking Ruler ran on near the rails. Lonhro winning by 1½ lengths from Ustinov, with Pure Theatre third.
2002 Caulfield Stakes The much-anticipated match-up between mighty mare Sunline and Lohnro justified the hype. Sunline assumed her usual front running style, and Lonhro stalked for most of the race in about third position. At the 300m, Sunline was over three lengths clear as Lonhro settled into his task. Inside the final 50m, Sunline and Lonhro were level with the mare fighting back strongly, but her younger rival edged in front to win by a half neck in then-race record time of 2:00:60.
@MelbRacingClub @gurujosh23 How good the 2 x Champs - Lonhro and Darren Gauci 🖤🩷👌🏼
