Description
.5-Year-old Gelding By Denman.
Watching is a 5-year-old gelding by Denman who is a two-time winner and placed a further 8 times from 25 starts.
His recent form in provincial company has suggested that he is more suitable to racing in a lesser grade. He is an ideal horse for a country trainer, and he will appreciate a change in environment as well as the drop in company.
A horse with ability, WATCHING was a winner at Kembla Grange and Nowra and was placed at Kembla Grange, Newcastle, Hawkesbury, Warwick Farm. These performances were mostly 6 months ago and the change of scenery and a ten-week spell will be a great freshen up for him.
He is racing sound and for genuine sale.
