Description

The Sherpa made history by becoming the first-ever winner for The Racing League.

A son of Japanese sire Mikki Isle out of Alpine Explorer, was purchased from Gerry Harvey for $125,000 plus gst.

The Sherpa has raced on 10 occasions for 1 win, 1 second and 1 third.

In his victory at Scone on September 24, 2021 he showed great early speed and good tenacity to score a popular victory.

The reason for sale is the owners have deemed The Sherpa is not up to Highway standard.

He remains lightly raced and sound.

Please find attached a vet certificate from March 21 clearing The Sherpa of any lameness, although the stewards embargo remains at this stage.

**Not To Race (Vet Certificate) 05-Mar-2023 GRAF M. Holloway Pulled up lame near fore (1/5). Vet clearance required PTNS.
