BOBBY Donworth and Honora Corridan are making a habit of featuring in Breeding Insights, but success deserves to be recognised and yet another horse bred at their Roundhill Stud has won a Group 3 race. The latest is Libran, a five-year-old son of Lawman who captured the N E Manion Cop at Rosehill in Australia and he will now head for a Group 1, hopefully to enjoy more success in the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing colours.

Libran’s sire Lawman is one of the most consistently successful stallions at stud in Ireland and he could be heading into another bright year with his son Marcel being considered a leading classic hope by connections. With other Group 1 winners including Just The Judge, Most Improved and Law Enforcement, Lawman looks to be great value for the 2016 season at just €25,000. For good measure he is a son of Invincible Spirit.
