First Season Sires – Exosphere

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 2

The next stallion on our list of featured first season Magic Millions sires is Darley's powerhouse sprinter Exosphere, a horse whose physical presence on raceday was formidable.

Given the success of Lonhro's champion son Pierro, now well established as a genuinely top class sire, it's no wonder there is considerable anticipation surrounding the offspring of his next superstar son to stud in Exosphere.

Exosphere

A brilliant juvenile that trained on to score a dominant win in the Group I ATC Golden Rose at three, Exosphere was retired lightly raced with five wins from 10 starts.

He has been popular with breeders so has good numbers at Magic Millions and other sales for 2019.

His size and strength is apparent in his yearling images and if his raw ability is there as well then buyers will be quick to snap up these youngsters and write another chapter in the success of Lonhro as a sire of sires.
