Description
A $300,000 Easter yearling purchase by the highly sought after Medaglia d'Oro out of an unraced Zabeel mare who is a half-sister to CALVEEN, KOSI BAY, FIREWORKS and STRIKER.
Lightly raced, he has always looked like a horse that needed a bit of time and his pedigree suggests the same. He was 2nd at the Gold Coast at 2 behind Group 3 winner Wisdom Of Water.
He was 2nd at Kembla Grange first up this preparation.
Raced 3/2 over 1400m at Kensington- has pulled up well and looks magnificent. We see him as a nice provincial horse for someone going forward.
BOBS Paid Up.
