Lincoln Blue’s connections are mulling over a change of environment.

The stakes-winning son of Savabeel blotted his copybook when he finished well back in the Gr. 1 New Zealand Derby after bucking out of the gates.

“It was very disappointing and we don’t know what caused that, we’re still guessing,” trainer Lisa Latta said.

“We’re looking at Sydney for him and he may transfer to another stable, we’re looking at all the options at the moment.”

A brother to the Gr. 1 Queensland Derby winner Brambles, Lincoln Blue won the Gr. 3 Wellington Stakes and the Listed 3YO Salver (pictured above)earlier in the season.
