Description
Soarhi is a 4-year-old gelding by Testa Rossa out of the Flying Spur mare, Defying Gravity.
He has been lightly raced with 11 career starts for a win and three placings over distances ranging from 1200 metres to 1600 metres.
Soarhi has been well educated and he has been given plenty of time to mature.
He is a lovely, straightforward horse that is easy to do everything with and he is a pleasure to have around the stables.
He would be an excellent prospect for the Provincial and Country Grade circuits, which is not up to the level that his current ownership group are looking to race.
He is being sold with no reserve to dissolve the partnership.
