Description
Florino is the epitome of consistency, finishing in the top three in 70% of his 10 career starts. A winner of four races, his victories include a track-record-breaking performance in the prestigious Denman Cup at Muswellbrook and a success at Newcastle. His versatility across varying track conditions and distances highlights his adaptability and competitive spirit.
Notably, Florino has performed well at the Highway Handicap level, including a close 2nd at Randwick, where he was beaten by just 1 length. In his most recent outing, he placed 3rd in a BM74 over 1200m at Tamworth, finishing just over a length behind the winner while conceding 2.5kg in weight.
Pedigree & Provenance
Florino’s pedigree is steeped in class. His sire, Mikki Isle, was a G1-winning Champion Japanese Sprinter/Miler, while his dam Flowerchild (by Champion Broodmare Sire Redoute’s Choice) was stakes-placed and has produced three winners of 16 races, including SP Animate (8 wins).
He hails from a blueblood family that includes Australian champions Northerly and North Boy, as well as dual G1 winner Overpass.
Temperament & Suitability
Florino is a sound and straightforward racing proposition. He is an easy ride, professional in his work, and a pleasure to have in the stable. Importantly, he has no vices of note, making him a reliable and manageable addition to any yard.
Veterinary History
Florino underwent surgery on his right fore fetlock as a yearling, which has not affected his racing in any way. Report available in repository. While every effort has been made to disclose any prior medical issues, potential buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent veterinary inspections.
Florino presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a genuine, competitive racehorse with proven ability at a range of distances and conditions.
