Description

METSI – Racehorse (surgery required) or Broodmare Prospect

3yo Bay filly by MORE THAN READY out of APROCRYPHA

• This filly is a last start winner; however, it has been identified from radiographs that she has a bone fragment in her right fore fetlock with findings also indicative of POD. Her prognosis is good, with surgical removal of the bone fragment and debridement of cartilage bed recommended and would need a six-month long spell prior to returning to work.

• To view her last start win, please click on the link below:

• METSI is lightly raced having had just the 4 starts for a win and a third placing, coupled with the surgery and recovery period, this filly is capable of continuing through the grades with her new owners.

• If breeding is your preferred route, METSI is a half-sister to the 5-time winning and G3 Manfred Stakes placed AFFIRMATION who has gone on to race in Hong Kong as SICHUAN DAR.

• METSI’s dam APOCRYPHA is by the great sire OCTAGONAL and is the dam or 10 foals, for a superb 8 winners. She is a half-sister to INVESTIGATES who is the dam of ZOU DANCER who won the G3 VRC Vanity Stakes and sold at the 2022 Magic Millions Broodmare sale for $600,000. ZOU DANCER is now in foal to Champion stallion I AM INVINCIBLE.

• She is being sold as a racing or breeding proposition unreserved.
