Description

Have a look here Northern buyers. Nuclear Option is a lightly raced mare that has been spelling at Seascape Farm near Geelong for a little over 3 months now. She has responded well to her break from racing and is ready to go back into work. She is the type of horse that should be very competitive around the Northern Rivers or QLD provincial tracks. Should be ideally suited to a smaller stable or a trainer who is trying to make his mark by improving a horse that hasn't quite lived up to expectations.
