One of Australia’s fastest pacers is on the market.
Boasting three of the five fastest miles in Australia during the past year, Suave Stuey Lombo is for sale according to trainer Shane Tritton.
Tritton believes the pacer is the perfect candidate for American-style racing, with the weak Aussie dollar the ideal time to sell the son of Bettor’s Delight.
A multiple Group One winner, Suave Stuey Lombo has stopped the clock in 1:49.6 under race conditions and has trialled in 1:49.2.
The seven-year-old also has a pair of 1:50.1 wins to his credit.
“The Aussie dollar isn’t holding up that well against the US dollar at the moment, so it’s a good time to sell to American,” Tritton said.
“A horse like Suave Stuey Lombo will love the mile racing there and can win $100,000 every year, so he would do a good job over there.”
Should Suave Stuey Lombo remain in his stable, Tritton believes the gelding can add to his impressive list of feature wins.
“He is having a good spell now, but we will be looking at the majors with him next time in,” Tritton said. “He is far from a spent force and can still win at the top level.
“The owners are probably thinking if they can get good money for him they can reinvest and try to find that next generation horse.
“He is a very nice, quick horse and can do a good job both here and in America.”
