Description
ROYAL OPERA was leased to Widdison Racing Stables with her first full prep.
Some lessees retired from the horse and the Owners have now decided to sell her so she can continue on with her racing career.
She comes from a honest and prolific Racing Family stemming back to the Legendary Hallmark.
Lightly raced she won both her trials and from her last 5 starts ran a 2nd and 2 thirds in very competitive fields at Seymour and Albury in this last preparation. Videos attached. Horses that beat her were eventual city winners.
She is currently spelling at Nagambie and looking bright is ready to go back into work for the new Owners.
She is a doll and lovely to handle. Nice strong type with good quarters and strong behind and a very good eater just what you want for racing.
