Description

Twice-placed Redoute’s Choice gelding Armament, who can be raced immediately, is available for sale.

Owners are looking to move the lightly raced three-year-old on as they feel he will not reach Saturday metropolitan grade in the future

The well-bred gelding has had five starts for two placings over 1400m and 1850m. He doesn’t appear to thrive on wet tracks, however it is expected that he will improve as he matures further which is a hallmark of the breed.

The three-year-old is Super Vobis and Vobis Gold qualified he was entered to race during this auction on Sunday (May 24) in a 1400m Maiden at Ballarat, where he ran a gallant 2nd.

Armament stands at 16.1-16.2 hands tall and on May 18 weighed in at 560kg.

Due to present Covid-19 restrictions at RVL training centres he is unavailable for in-person inspections, however a FaceTime video call can be arranged to inspect the gelding.

For more information or to organise an appointment for a video call contact Tom on 0438 012 369.
