Description

By the multiple Group winning and Champion 3YO Sprinter, FASTNET ROCK, out of the multiple Group winner SWORD OF LIGHT. Darksaber is related to Stakes winners such as FLAMBERGE, SUNBURNT LAND, DURENDAL, and CURTANA.

Darksaber is Super Vobis and Vobis Gold nominated. Darksaber has been in full training at Flemington for one month. We believe Darksaber will be better placed outside of a metropolitan stable.

Hesket Bloodstock offers this horse under the rules of usual public auction.

The vendor makes no representation as to the current or future soundness of this horse, and you are welcome to arrange your own veterinary inspection prior to the completion of the auction.
