Description

Here’s an opportunity to buy a lightly raced 8-2-2 son of more than ready and a half brother to current star filly amphrite. A horse with a ton of ability he won his first start at Gosford and then ran second at Canterbury.

He was ready to trial for new trainer and pulled up sore with a slight tear in his tendon sheath require spelling for six months injury is only slight (see the vet report attached) with time and patience the right buyer will definitely have a Saturday class horse.

Current owners are down sizing and the horse is for sale unreserved. A big strong gelding approximately 16.1 and 150k yearling he’s a stunning looking horse

Please note: His tendon injury is a grade 1 out of 5 (see attached vet report).
