*** 1 x 20% owner is selling his share in Only The Best. We have decided to split the share into 4 x 5% shares to help sell the total 20% for sale***

 

THE PERFECT TIME TO GET INVOLVED IN ONLY THE BEST.

 

Only The Best has just been gelded after most recently finishing fourth at Caulfield in the Vobis Gold Ingot ($175,000) on 22nd July. He is spelling now, will resume in the back end of the spring and be ready for summer racing where he will quickly win his maiden and target Vobis races that he is eligible for. The gelding has good ability and is available for vetting if the prospective buyer wish to do so.

 

The shares in Only The Best are only for sale as an owner is downsizing their stock.

 

The gelding is well made, with plenty of quality to him and stands approximately 15.3hh and weighs 540kgs. Only The Best has a great temperament and is easy to do anything with around the stable including float, tie up in stalls, shoe and in track work.
