Description
Nelson is an 8YO gelding by Frankel who has a career record of 15:3-2-1.
In his 3YO year in Europe he won the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes before going on to contest races like the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris, Group 1 St Leger and the G1 Arc De Triomphe, where he was only beaten four lengths by Champion mare Enable.
He has only had the three starts in Australia and has been unable to regain his best European form. Being lightly raced he would be an ideal country cups contender or a handy stayer in any racing jurisdiction.
Previous horses sold this year by Hudson Conway such as Port Philip and Hillcrest Avenue have gone on to succesfully race and win multiple races with their new connections.
