Description

The Lions' Gate is a lightly raced 4 year old gelding that is looking for a change of environment.

He was a dominant winner at Doomben as a 3 year old and has run some terrific races during his career to date.

Last preparation he started off his campaign with two Brisbane City placings before starting favourite in a $120,000 Highway race in Sydney where he was only beaten a length.

The large ownership group have lost patience with The Lions' Gate and are dispersing the syndicate.
