JACKMAN R

Further Information

Jackman R is also known as Jitterbug in the stable. Jackman R is a black gelding with 4 white socks and was specially kept because Rozzie fell in love with him. Jackman's mother Lynx is a full sister to Londoner who with Heath in the saddle won the Australian Prix St George and Intermediare I championship when he was just 6 years of age (these days a horse has to be 7 before he can compete at this level). The horse was then bought by Mary Hanna who took the horse on the Trans Tasman tour of NZ. Mary was picked on the Australian Trans-Tasman team on Mosaic who later went on to represent Australia in the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Londoner was supposed to be just getting experience on this team tour however with Mary in the saddle he just got up and won the whole competition beating all the Australian team and the NZ team. Unfortunately what looked like a stellar career came to a crashing halt with soundness issues.

Hopefully Jackman R is going to follow in the performance footsteps of his parents.
