La Mer: Umrum, you are attempting to perpetuate a myth re Lonhro only being able to win in sit and sprint races at 2000m. Go have a looksee at the 2002 Caulfield Stakes and you will see Lonhro and Sunline blitz the rest by six lengths in a time that was a mere 0.2seconds outside the track record.

Simply because he is seldom required to run times in his races, only ever needing to do what is required to win, does not mean his is not capable of doing so.
