Description

Blue Sapphire is a super attractive, strong type with untapped potential. From the family of Octagonal, Mouawad, Hiyaam etc. and by the same sire as Murt The Flirt, Flying Murty, Murtle Turtle etc. He has been given plenty of time by patient owners having had only 4 lifetime starts. He finished a close up 3rd at Sandown beaten 0.5L after leading all the way & only headed the last 50m.

This horse has shown great potential all the way through, has been given time and is sound and ready to resume work. He has been spelling for 3-4 months after a slight tendon strain in the off fore.

Blue Sapphire enjoys being in work, is a good eater and good doer. He stands approx. 16hh, weighs approx. 540kg’s and has no vices.
