Description

4yo Bay Gelding

D.O.B: 14-Nov-2018

by SHAMEXPRESS (NZ) from MISS AVALON (IRE)

Summary: 14-1:3:4 Prizemoney: $73,710

Very consistent 4yo gelding Murrami Express for sale.

Murrami Express last raced at Sale at Geelong on 22nd November where he finished 3rd in a 0 – 64 over 1343m where he finished third. Murrami Express has placed at metropolitan level last preparation and we feel he has more wins in store going forward.

Murrami Express is a good looking and well made 4yo gelding. He is a delight for his riders in his track work and is easy to handle, float and shoe when in training.

Murrami Express will need to gain a barrier certificate before he races next due after being difficult to load at his most recent start. The horse is normally well behaved in the barriers and we expect gaining a barrier certificate will not be a difficult exercise.

Murrami Express is approximately 16.1hh and weighs approximately 503kgs.

The gelding is available for inspection or vet examinations at Danny O’Brien Racing, Flemington, Victoria before the conclusion of the online auction.

For further information or to book an inspection please contact Luke Wilkinson on 0413 489 736.

** Suspension (Difficult to Load) 22-Nov-2022 GEELONG G Hausfeld Difficult to load, causing a delay. Must jump-out to the satisfaction of Stewards prior to racing again.
