Description

A rare opportunity to purchase a last-start Saturday Metro winner who is sound. McCovey Cove stands at a touch under 16 hands, is a good ride, and consistent, he has only missed a top 5 cheque once in 12 starts and is still only a Class 4 horse after winning a $75,000 race at Eagle Farm last start.

There is plenty of racing left in this boy, however, with a strong lineup of horses coming through their ranks, the famous Harris Family are looking to move on a couple of the older geldings whilst there is something left for their next owner.

McCovey Cove is in full work and will race at Doomben on 15th January if he is not sold.
