Description

*Rare Opportunity to race a horse by the great CRITERION* - Shares will not be hard to sell.

AGAINST THE ODDS is a 3yo gelding by multiple Group 1 winner CRITERION. He is the sire of promising horses YARDSTICK & BLAZE A TRAIL from minimal opportunity. This gelding is typical of his staying European family and needed time to mature.

AGAINST THE ODDS is in great condition but does not fit our long term racing program focused on metro class horses. We feel AGAINST THE ODDS is best placed outside of Sydney in lesser grade and offers a nice opportunity for a trainer to purchase an unraced horse ready to race.
