Description

A lightly raced 3yo gelding that has been placed twice at the NSW provincial level.

He's very tractable and would be well placed to be winning races in a country stable or a jurisdiction outside of Sydney.

We are only interested in racing stakes class horses and thus he no longer meets our requirements but will be lovely horse at a lesser level.

He has been spelling at The Chase in the Southern Highlands since 23/12/2020 and is being sold unreserved.

Available for inspection at The Chase in the southern highlands of NSW.
