Description

A winning mare by Pierro’s sire, Lonhro. Article is an attractive young mare, very much in the mould of Lonhro and is a half-sister to dual Gp. 2 winner Sound Journey

Lonhro is the broodmare sire of 28 stakes winners - amongst those are Group 1 performers Gatting, Osborne Bulls, So Si Bon, etc. Article has the rare distinction of being completely free of Northern Dancer blood, meaning she can visit virtually any stallion of your choice!

Article is an extremely fertile mare, has always gone in foal on first cover. She has a quality weanling colt by Champion 2-year-old Invader, who stood for $27,500 in his first 2 seasons at stud and has sired outstanding first crop foals. She is safely back in foal to Invader.
