Description

**UNRESERVED**

Along The River is a metro-winning 4yo horse (entire) by Australia’s 2021 Champion sire Written Tycoon.

Along The River is out of Group Three winning sprinting mare Kulgrinda (Exceed And Excel).

Along The River has possessed all the credentials to make it at the top level from day one; He has a highly commercial pedigree, is extremely good-looking, has a terrific attitude and has an abundance of talent. He has also been a very sound horse. For these reasons, connections elected to keep him a colt in the hope that he would make it at Group level.

This horse presents as a terrific opportunity for owners/trainers looking a high-class horse with a huge amount of upside.

Along The River’s temperament has never been an issue but gelding him may assist to get him to his full potential.

Along The River has had 15 starts to date, for three wins, four seconds and two thirds for $205,790 including all Vobis Bonuses. It is also worth mentioning he hasn’t enjoyed much luck throughout his career, which is evident if you watch his replays. His most recent start was on 03/12/22 at Pakenham (Saturday stand-alone meeting) where he finished fourth, beaten one length.

He is fully eligible for Super Vobis, Vobis Gold and Vobis Sires Boost.

He is a great looking horse, who stands at approx. 16.1H. He is currently spelling in the Macedon Ranges.

This horse is being offered by the owners under the rules of usual public auction.

The vendor makes no representation as to the current or future soundness of this horse, and you are welcome to arrange your own veterinary inspection prior to the completion of the auction.
