  Veterinary Report 22/02/24  

Description

Walk The Pier is a 3YO gelding by Alabama Express.

Lightly raced, having placed once from four starts, we do not believe he is of metropolitan grade and feel he would be better suited to racing in an easier jurisdiction.

Walk The Pier is easy to train, ride, and handle. He stands at 16.1hh and weighs 535kg.

Please note: Walk The Pier has undergone tie-back surgery — please see the attached report for further details. He has been spelling since 4/06/2025.

Inspections are welcome.

As with all our horses, we recommend that buyers undertake their own veterinary inspections.

Should you have any queries, please contact Troy Stephens on 0455 316 666, or alternatively, email troy@yulonginvest.com.au.
