Despite having proved successful in maiden company on top of the ground, this middle-distance galloper's breeding suggests he'll be more at home on wet tracks. And if you closely inspect this Lord Ballina entire's formline, you'll see this trait appearing. He put in three solid efforts on his home track during May and June, but found the surface a bit firm for his liking at Washdyke in mid-July. He then cleared R70 grade on a slow Riccarton track on August 5.
