Description

Keepa Raaj, 3yo gelding by Iffraaj.

A lightly raced gelding with 3 runs under his belt. He was exciting at his first start, running over testing ground to be victorious at Bendigo.

He is out of a half-sister to King Mufhasa and is a half brother to The Bostonian, a multiple Group performer and winner of the Canterbury Stakes and Doomben 10,000.

We think he will be well placed over the Winter months and should have luck in a weaker racing jurisdiction.

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we recommend that all purchasers undertake independent veterinary inspections.

For any further questions please contact Ciaron Maher Racing or alternatively please send through all enquiries to kate@ciaronmaher.com.au.
