Description

A proven racehorse with over $100,000 in earnings, First Innings is a sound and consistent 4-year-old gelding by Contributer out of Dream Run.

With 18 career starts for 2 wins and multiple placings, First Innings has shown he’s a genuine competitor. He was only narrowly beaten by 0.9 lengths at his most recent start and has now gone to the paddock in good order.

Offered for genuine sale, he has simply reached his level, and connections are choosing to focus on other horses in their growing team.

He would be an ideal candidate for a country or provincial stable looking for a ready-made, sound, and race-fit gelding with good earning potential.

Don’t miss the opportunity to secure a well-performed, honest gelding.
