Description
Witsabouthim is a lightly raced 5yo Savabeel gelding with a career record of 11: 3-0-1.
Acquired on the back of impressive back to back wins in New Zealand, he has not lived up to expectations in his Australian preparations - despite winning at Sale just four starts ago (in BM64 grade) and placing at midweek metropolitan level two starts ago on June 29 2022.
Witsabouthim is sound, easy to lead/handle and would prove a good acquisition for a new group of owners looking to race a middle-distance/staying horse for several seasons. The are further wins in store - he has shown himself to be midweek class in Melbourne.

*Please note: After showing signs of very minor lameness following his most recent start at Sandown on July 13, the horse was required to provide a vet clearance prior to racing again. This has since been submitted to Racing Victoria and Witsabouthim has been cleared with his embargo lifted.
*Not To Race (Vet Certificate) 13-Jul-2022 SANDOWN Rob Montgomery Lame off hind. Vet clearance before racing again. (email sent RL).
