Description
Lightly raced gelding looking for weaker environment to continue his racing career.
Argonauts is a Magic Millions graduate that is by proven sire SEBRING and is out of triple black-type winner THE MESSINA NYMPH. His half sister by Zoustar sold at last week's Gold Coast sale for $325,000.
Argonauts has had just five career starts, highlighted by his encouraging third first-up at Yarra Valley on December 29 over 1200m.
Following his most recent effort at Pakenham on Jan 14, his owners have made the ruthless decision to move him on unreserved in this sale as they only have interest in racing metropolitan/stakes class horses.
HIs PlusVital DNA profile is CT Short, which indicates his optimum distance range is 1400m-1800m. So far in his career he has yet to race past 1400m.
On Monday, January 18 he weighed in at 440kg and inspections can be arranged either in person, or via zoom, please call Jack on 0434 577 419 to organise.
