Description

Optimo is for sale due to owners heading a different direction.

He had an interrupted prep last time in and underachieved he just wasn't himself. He is enjoying a good spell at present and is ready to go. He is a serious horse this guy and has run some tremendous sectionals . Has been the victim of terrible barriers in 90% of his starts . On the two occasions he went to highways he drew the carpark, still ran well and both jocks said he wins if draws better . Has also been placed midweek in town . Optimo is a serious horse and has plenty left to achieve, we believe he is a genuine Saturday horse ,he has no injuries or health concerns is lightly raced and a real chance at races like championships , kosciosko , big dance etc.the decision to sell was a difficult oneland not taken ightly owners have many young horses coming through and need to free up some capital. Optimo will pass any vet inspection and is available at any time for examination. This is a genuine chance to obtain a high class horse with plenty of upside. Please contact with any questions
