Description

Promises Kept

A talented and consistent galloper, Promises Kept has just returned from a spell and is now 12 days into his new preparation. He’s progressing well in his work and is approximately a month away from his first gallop.

Last preparation, he was a standout performer in Tasmania, finishing a brave second in both the Hobart Cup and Launceston Cup — underlining his quality and staying credentials.

A striking, big-bodied horse with an excellent temperament, he looks set for another strong campaign ahead.
