Description

Footlights is an attractive, sound 4yo Savabeel gelding with a record of 15: 3-3-0 and a current Victorian rating of 66.

He is easy to ride, lead and handle with no vices.

Footlights is currently spelling following his most recent preparation, where he last won over 2100m in 0-64 grade at Ballarat on September 30.

He has come close to reaching his mark in Victoria and could benefit from racing in a slightly weaker jurisdiction. We are confident there are further wins in store when placed to his advantage.

*Please note: Footlights was found to have suffered from cardiac arrythmia at Moe in October 2022 but has since been cleared to race and subsequently returned to races on two occasions without further incident.

All race form and replays are accessible via Racing.com
