Luan

LUAN (Sea The Stars x Lamorlaye)

Don’t miss this chance to get involved with a serious pedigree! Luan is a big, rangy and imposing son of Sea The Stars, purchased by us in the Tattersalls May sale. We feel like this horse is great value for what should give you a lot of fun on the racetrack. On debut over 1 mile, he was drawn wide, still green and was learning on the job. On the 28th August he took a massive step forward at Chelmsford, breaking well before being settled at the back of the field. Jonny Peate was one of the last off the bridle from a uncompromising position and Luan stayed on nicely to make up ground in the business end of the race.

Racing IQ data from the race reads that Luan reached

0-20MPH – 2nd fastest of 12.

His stride length was 3rd of 12 ( this is a massive positive considering he will be much improved over middle distances).

Finishing speed 4th fastest 105.45% (again a positive that he has this finishing speed over a trip shorter than ideal).

Also showing the 3rd highest top speed clocking 39.34mph.

Luan is a horse that we have started over a mile to teach him how to race at a faster pace and to increase his race craft. He will be much more at home once he is stepped up in trip and we feel he will be a really progressive horse.

Siblings include:

Wasmya (Toronado), rated 101 and winner of a listed race.

Talbah (Style Vendome), winner on debut and placed 3rd in a Group 3 from just four runs.

Wahdan (Siyouni), placed 3rd in a Group 2.

This colt once cost 280,000 as a yearling and comes recommended to us by Juddmonte. Before the sale he was in full training at their farm in Ireland. They feel that as he is a big and powerful horse, he needs gelding which will help bring him into a nice racing weight. He has a lovely walk, a great presence about him and a loving temperament. Our bloodstock agent Billy Jackson-Stops was very keen on him and utilised his contacts to find out everything about him.

We feel like he is the perfect horse for James Ferguson. James excels with these staying types and has previously trained other Sea The Stars progeny such as Wonder Legend, Kildare Legend and Deauville Legend.

The purchase price includes the purchase of the horse, vetting/scope at the sales, bloodstock agent commission, the required gelding operation and the training fees until October 1st.
