Just when you thought it would be safe to declare that Wednesday's Ramornie Handicap (LR) winner Jerezana had topped off a remarkable season for Darley's charismatic Lonhro, the champion stallion elect bobs up with his 14th stakes winner for the season when Sheikh Mohammed's consistent gelding Scarf scored a gallant victory in Saturday's Listed Winter Stakes at Rosehill Gardens, reports www.breednet.com.au.

It says: It was a hard earned win, leading all the way under a positive ride by Kerrin McEvoy to stave off the luckless Devil's Arcade (Snowland) by a long-neck. The only 3yo in the field, Scarf (Lonhro x Muffle (Quest for Fame) deserved his first stakes triumph. He has won six of his 11 starts while banking $309,200.

A rare grey by his sire, Scarf is a three-quarter brother to the useful Stifle (Octagonal). He is the fourth foal of the Quest For Fame mare Muffle who went winless in four starts. She is a half-sister to the Stakes placed Lament (Mighty Avalanche) the dam of Listed winner Jeremaid (Octagonal) as well as Stutter (Canny Lad), the dam duel Stakes winner Dysphonia, the latest coming in the Scone Cup. Muffle is another of the mares sold by Darley before becoming a stakes producer. She made just $5,500 when offered for sale in foal to Ad Valorem (USA) at the 2009 Magic Millions National Broodmare sale

Muffle has a yearling filly by Ad Valorem (USA) and a colt foal by Real Saga. She was covered by the son of Tale Of The Cat (USA) again last year. Scarf becomes the 27th individual stakes winner for Lonhro and an industry topping 14th individual stakes-winner this season, breaking the deadlock with Redoute's Choice and Encosta de Lago.
