Lonhro’s high class son Denman will stand at Twin Hills Stud at Cootamundra in southern NSW for the 2019 season.

Twin Hills now owns a majority share in the former Darley sire, an older half brother to this year’s Golden Slipper winner Kiamichi.

“We are delighted to be standing Denman and to have purchased a significant interest in him” said Oliver Tait, the owner of Twin Hills.

“I love his pedigree which features the Golden Slipper winners Vain, Marscay, Dark Eclipse and Kiamichi.

“He constantly produces winners and his statistics compare very well to some of Australia’s best stallions. He is a fantastic addition to Smart Missile and Odyssey Moon”.

Denman has sired 79 winners already this season and his percentage of winners to runners is superior to the likes of Fastnet Rock, Not A Single Doubt, Nicconi and Star Witness.

Denman is in the top 20 active stallions on the Australian General Sires list with his recent stakes winners including Group winning two year old Whiskey Neat, and the three year old Humma Humma, winner of last Saturday Listed Redelva Stakes.

His progeny also include the outstanding Hong Kong performer Hot King Prawn, the winner of nine races and over AUD $2 million in prizemoney.

Bred by Woodlands Stud and trained by Peter Snowden, Denman was an outstanding G1 winner of nine of his 12 starts including six stakes races between 1200m and 1400m.
