Description
So Astounding is lightly raced 5yo gelding who is a winner and 5 times placed from 17 starts (Rating 57 VIC).
*Most recent run he was a close 2nd in the BM58 Hcp over 1600m at Terang Friday, 20th November 2020 - replay attached*
Walk/trot video & standing photos attached taken 24th November 2020.
A stunning looking son of So You Think, So Astounding is being sold to dissolve the ownership group after a majority decision was made to sell. He looks to have reached his level here in Victoria yet he has plenty of racing left in him in the right grade as he has been taken along steadily after being given time to mature. His form suggests he is capable up to BM64 Victorian grade and his best distance range spans from 1400-1600m with potential to stretch over further.
He wears a tongue-tie and cross-over noseband as he can travel a bit keen at times but is otherwise a sound racehorse who is capable of winning more races. He handles all types of going.
The embargo is a past warning for pre-race behaviour back in 2018, however he has since been to the races 16 times without issue.
A small % of owners have expressed an interest in potentially staying involved.
