Verne- J Walker VET REPORT 22 MARCH- TENDONDescription
Verne is an extremely talented son of Snitzel who we unfortunately never got to see the best of on the track.
WON consecutively as a 2YO brilliantly beating subsequent Gr 1 winner IN THE CONGO who retires to Newgate Farm this year at a fee of $33,000
Suffered an injury to the right fore superficial digital flexor tendon after his third start. We have gone to extensive efforts to rehabilitate Verne but after his trial in March we received the devastating news that he had reinjured the tendon for the third time. As such he is not a racing proposition but being sold as a stallion prospect only.
By emerging super sire of sires SNITZEL with a stallion's pedigree- Verne is a brother to Thronum and from the family of STREET CRY, SHAMARDAL & MAGNA GRECIA.
A stunning looking colt who is being sold with full fertility vetting carried out by Dr Johnny Walker.
