Description

Semper Fortis is a 4yo Tavistock gelding with a career record of 9: 1-3-0.

A maiden winner at metropolitan level at Moonee Valley in March 2022, he has not quite progressed as expected off the back of the win.

After prepping up nicely leading into his return at Cranbourne he performed well below expectation and subsequently was found to have pulled up mildly lame.

With a current Victorian rating of 61 he is well placed to earn new connections a quick return on investment upon recapturing his true form. Semper Fortis is a horse that demonstrated above average ability as a three-year-old and there are more wins in store when placed to advantage.

Independent vet assessments welcomed and encouraged.
