Description
Ribcracker – 4YO Gelding by Ribchester
A lightly raced 4YO maiden with just four starts to his name, Ribcracker returned to work in February following a solid spell after his previous preparation.
He completed three trials this time in and was nearing a return to the races before unfortunately pulling up sore.
As he now requires further spelling and rehabilitation before returning to full work, the majority of his ownership group has opted to move him on in order to dissolve a larger syndicate structure.
Disclosure: Sesamoiditis / Suspensory Branch Changes - Please see attached Vet Report detailing future prognosis for racing.
