Description

Switch Play is a 4yo Shamus Award Gelding who won first up last prep. He is a lovely type of horse with a great attitude.

Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago he suffered a small injury to his tendon. He will require 4 months in a paddock before a re-scanning to resume racing. Please see the vet report attached.

His prognosis to racing is good, however the owners have decided that they would prefer to buy into yearlings in the new year.

He is easy to ride, and has plenty of ability. He didn’t handle the wet tracks throughout last prep
