Set a decent task, tackling 1400 metres first up from a spell on a heavy track,
the James Cummings trained three year-old Lonhro gelding Restrained rise to the occasion
coasting home to win by a length.With three wins from three starts, Restrained appeals as a progressive type and while he has taken more time to mature than his precocious sister Pin Sec, he too may end up as a Black Type horse.
Restrained and Pin Sec are the first two foals from Moderate, a stakes-winning daughter of Commands. She has a weanling filly by Street Boss (USA), but unfortunately missed to Lonhro last year so will have no foal this spring.
Lonhro is enjoying a brilliant season with his two year-olds with five winners from 10 runners headed by his Group I MRC Blue Diamond winner Lyre and Group II winners Amercement and Pin Sec.
Turning 21 this year, Lonhro covered 117 mares last year at a fee of $55,000.
