Description
Inner Spirit, 5yo gelding by Wandjina
A great opportunity to get involved in a consistent horse who is city placed and lightly raced with 2 wins and 6 placings from his 11 starts.
He is out of a winning Encosta De Lago mare in Inishowen, who has also produced a winner at Flemington, Philadelphia Storm.
He is being moved on as the majority of owners believe he will be best suited to continue racing in a weaker racing jurisdiction. He has been spelling at our Pakenham Spelling Farm for just over 2 weeks and will be ready to carry on with.
Inner Spirit underwent laser surgery on his throat in March 2021, vet report attached.
For any further questions please contact Lee Ann Imboden on 0404 056 586 or alternatively please send through enquiries to kate@ciaronmaher.com.au.
