Description
Torque is a lightly raced (5 starts) gelding that has promised much but not yet delivered.
A stunning type, he took a while to mature both physically and mentally and gave his owners good hope when winning two trials in a row at Warwick Farm early this year.
After a couple of mediocre runs, he was put out to spell and fill out and ran second in a Warwick Farm trial before resuming in September. He was given two runs up to 1600m before it was decided by his large group of owners to move him on.
Torque is approx 16hh, is sound and a lovely mover.
