Now that all the hoo haa is over, anyone know how he got that name?

No takers?. OK I'll put forward my theory.
His Grand Dam is Eight Carat, so a link to diamonds there.
Lonrho is a London based company that owns & operates diamond mines in Zimbabwe, formally Rhodesia. The name is made up of LONdon/RHOdesia. So if Lonhro is named after this company then his name has been spelt incorrectly. That's if. It's possible as the Ingham horse are usually well named.

Hi Mark, pretty new here..

Yes you are correct about the naming of lonhro. DOnt ask me where i heard it though, but the name was spelled incorrectly for a reason. Apparently the company involved is quite litigious and so a letter or two was swapped just in case.
Hope this helps

That sounds pretty right to me.

Cheers.

probably right.
tiny rowlands ran the london/rhodesia company and he was the guy that put the frighteners on alan bond.
bond was looking (allegedly() at a takeover and rowlands accused him of being insolvent.
the rest is history.

Mark,

You're incorrect.

Lonhro is latin for Cubic Zirconia.

:lol: A fake !!!
