Description

Octagon is a lightly raced 4YO gelding by Exosphere with a record of one win and two placings from 11 career starts.

He broke his maiden at Werribee last preparation, where he circled the field and drew clear impressively to score by 2.5 lengths. After disappointing on his next start, Octagon was diagnosed as a roarer and underwent tie-back surgery on the 6th May 2021 (please see the attached vet report for full disclosure). He has since raced three times, performing with great credit on two of those occasions to finish fourth.

This horse is sold under the general rules of public auction. The vendor makes no representation to the current or future soundness of this horse and all veterinary records remain the property of the Syndicate managed by Triple Crown Bloodstock Pty Ltd. The horse is available for inspection and vetting at Rosemont Stud prior to its auction.

As with all horses offered for sale by our syndicates, we recommend all prospective buyers obtain an independent veterinary check before they bid.

For any enquiries please call Triple Crown on 02 9499 5212.
