Bermuda Thoroughbreds' JOHNNY BARNES recently retired to Haras des Granges in the South-West of France and the son of Acclamation will be getting a choice partner in the regally-bred LORGNETTE, for which John & Jake Warren paid €200,000. The daughter of Galileo is out of the Gr.3 1,000 Guineas Trial 3rd DANCE SECRETARY, herself a half-sister to the Gr.1 winner and sire PERFECT SOUL.

Lorgnette was offered by Ecurie des Monceaux, having raced for a partnership involving Mayfair Speculators.

She is for the owners of Johnny Barnes who are keen to support their stallion, confirmed Jake Warren. They have been looking for quality mares and she fitted the bill perfectly.
