The bay son of Linngari and a previous Gr2 winner and Gr1 placed, Garlingari walked away with the Gr3 La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte on the weekend over 2000m in France. Linngari, a son of Indian Ridge, has produced a lifetime winners to runners percentage of an impressive 60% with progeny the world over.

The bonus is that the old adage “the early bird catches the worm” applies here, too. A timeous application for the three payment credit terms will put you in the box seat to get what you like, when you want it.
