Description
Strong 4yo gelding by Smart Missile out of Tale of the Cat mare Tale of Love.
Tale of Love won the Inglis restricted 2yo race over 1200m at Caulfield after running in 2 Blue Diamond Preludes.
Russian Romeo is an athletic, strong, robust gelding with a strong sprint. He has a big long stride and has won 4 races and has a rating of 62. so he can still be placed to advantage.
He is particularly suited good firm tracks. He has raced 8 times on slow & heavy tracks for 1 win. His record on good firm tracks is 13 starts for 3 wins, 2 seconds and 1 third.
In the right conditions he can show a devastating final sprint.
He has a goog confirmation and constitution, good size and easy to train. He has been able to cope with long preps, so he is a reliable gelding for someone looking to race him across the provincial circuits.
His best distance range is between 1200m-1600m
He was formally trained by Ciaron Maher, then Will Clarken. He is currently located in the Gold Coast Hinterland at Newington Farm, He was taken to the Gold Coast to run in the Magic Millions race in January, and was left up there to spell.
He had some minor surgery in February to clear his digestive system, but no intestine was cut out.
He has now spelled for 10 weeks and has made a full recovery, so he is now ready to be put back into a racing prep.
He goes particularly well early in his preps,
