Description
Murrumbidgee River, 5yo gelding by Fiorente.
Lightly raced with a win and a city placing over his 8 starts. He has shown good talent and was preparing for a jumps campaign this season.
He sustained a tendon injury on the 14/12 and will require rehabilitation to get him back to the races. For further details, please refer to the attached vet report.
The decision has been made to sell this gelding in order to dissolve ownership.
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 admin@ciaronmaher.com.au
