The stakes-winner to runner strike rate runs at an impressive 17.5%.

Turning 21 this year, Lonhro has left a fine successor to his crown in the shape of his champion son Pierro, who is also showing a real affinity for daughters of Redoute's Choice just like his famous father.

Furore is the sixth SW by Pierro from a daughter of Redoute's ChoiceThe Classic Mile at Sha Tin on Sunday was won in exciting style by talented Pierro four year-old Furore, who became the 14th stakes-winner for his sire and sixth bred from a daughter of Redoute's Choice.
