UK Juvenile SW for Choisir

Tara Madgwick - Sunday September 4
Coolmore stalwart Choisir featured overnight with a brilliant juvenile stakes-winner when two year-old colt The Last Lion bolted way for an easy victory in the Group III Sirenia Stakes at Kempton.

A stakes-winner at Sandown in July and then Group placed at his next two outings, the Mark Johnston trained colt scorched the all weather surface in racing away to win the six furlong sprint by four lengths.

Tough and consistent, the speedster has three wins and five placings from eight starts this year.

Choisir"The Last Lion was having his eighth run of the season and could be back on the track as soon as Friday. He´s in at Doncaster and he takes his racing so well you couldn´t rule it out. He also holds an entry in the Group I Middle Park at Newmarket later this month,” said part-owner Megan Dennis.

Purchased for 82,000 euros from the Goffs Orby Sale, The Last Lion is a sibling to stakes-winning sprinters Russian Rock and Contest being from the good Group I placed producer Mala Mala, a half-sister by Brief Truce to Group I winner Tarascon.

This is a family that has made a big impact here and includes Group I NZ One Thousand Guineas winner Vivacious Spirit and Group winners Serene Majesty and Fravashi.

Choisir stands at Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $29,700 alongside his champion son Starspangledbanner at $24,750.
