Description

Shangri La Express is a 3YO gelding by Alabama Express out of the winning Lonhro mare, Sent From Above. His second dam, Gamble Me, is a 2-time Group 3 winner and has produced 8 foals to race for 6 winners.

Shangri La Express was purchased for $220,000 from the Magic Millions sale in 2023 and he has amassed over $740,000 on the track. He broke his maiden on debut over 1000m in the Kirkham Plate and he went on to win his next start in the $1M Golden Gift. He also competed in the Group 1 Golden Slipper to round out a stellar 2YO career. As a 3YO he ran 5th in the Listed The Rosebud and he was last seen running mid-field in a BM78 over 1200m at Randwick on 28th December. He will jump from barrier 14 with Angela Jones in the saddle in Friday night’s Magic Millions 3YO Guineas worth $3M.
