COMMENTS AND PROSPECT:

EXOSPHERE was trained by John O'Shea and collected 5 wins in 10 starts for Godolphin including 1st in G1 Golden Rose Stakes with James McDonald on board, 4th in Coolmore Stud Stakes and Lightning Stakes respectively. After placing 11th in T J Smith Stakes that well behind CHAUTAUQUA, the son of LONHRO joined the stallion roaster in 2016 at Australia and shuttled to France in 2017 with nine black type contests winners. He stationed at Oaklands Stud in 2023 and his service fee is AUD$ 6,600.

LINK was sold at AUD$ 80,000 in 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast 2YOs In Training Sale where he finished 200M in 10.73s during the breeze up run. His dam BATHING BEAUTY is an unraced while three of her off-spring won in sprint events at ordinary level. Being a grandson of EXCEED AND EXCEL, the bay gelding should be a precocious sprinter.
