  Veterinary Report  

Description

Grand Rock is a lightly raced 5YO European Import by Acclamation. He has had 13 starts for 2 wins and 3 minor placings with both wins being in England. He arrived to Australia in great order but has taken a bit of time to acclimatise to the Australian racing conditions. He is a horse with a lot of ability and still not the finished article yet. He does race best on soft conditions and does find firm ground a bit testing.

He had knee chips removed from his right fore in February 2021 and has raced successfully since with no issues and no lameness detected.

He will have one final run for his current owner on the 21st of January at Canterbury over 1900m and will be sold unreserved.

Weight: 462kg (18-01-2022)

Height: 16hh

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do independent vetting if required.
