Description

FRENCH COMET

• 4yo bay gelding by SHALAA out of FRENCH DOLL

• With just the 6 career starts for 2 second placings, FRENCH COMET has every opportunity to break his maiden and continue to pay his was for his new owners

• A quality type and lovely style of horse he was a $180,000 yearling purchase at the Magic Millions Gold Coast

• FRENCH COMET’s dam is a half-sister to the Japanese G2 winning DEEP IMPACT mare, RED GENESIS who won from 1800m to 2400m amassing over 96 million yen (equivalent to over $1 million AUD)

• Hailing from a prominent International family, the pedigree includes Champion 3yo Miler in Ireland KING OF KINGS as well as French champion GENERAL MONASH, multiple Italian stakes winner GOLDEN PIVOTAL and UAE stakes winner CHINA VISIT

• His current owners have decided not to continue on this preparation and will be focussing on their younger stock coming through

• He remains a promising racing prospect for a smaller country stable in a lesser jurisdiction

• This horse has had a previous epiglottic entrapment surgery and left intercarpal joint arthroscopy

• Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no responsibility after the sale and suggest you undertake independent vetting if you so require.
