BOBBY Donworth and Honora Corridan’s Round Hill Stud bred Libran, a six-year-old son of Lawman (Invincible Spirit), who last weekend added the 10-furlong Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes at Randwick to previous successes in the 13-furlong Group 2 Schweppes Chairman’s Handicap at the same track, the mile and a half Group 3 N E Manion Cup at Rosehill and the Listed Randwick City Stakes over 10 furlongs. He showed further versatility when second over two miles in the Group 1 Schweppes Sydney Cup. He races in the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing colours.

Libran’s sire Lawman won the French Derby and the Ballylinch resident is responsible for five Group 1 winners to date. They include the Group 1 winning two-year-old and new sire recruit for 2017 Marcel, the 1000 Guineas winner Just The Judge, St James’s Palace Stakes winner and first season sire Most Improved, another Group 1 winning juvenile in Law Enforcement, and the St Leger winner Harbour Law. Lawman commanded a fee for the 2016 season of €25,000.
