5% Share for Sale in BETTER BE NORDY - 4YO (as of 1st August, 2023)
Better Be Nordy is currently being trained by Rob Heathcote in Queensland and races with successful and reputable syndicators in First Light Racing.
To date, Better Be Nordy has had five (5) starts (at either Doomben or Eagle Farm) and has placed twice.
At the start of his current preparation he trialed brilliantly, leading the field of 7 and winning comfortably under hands and heels. On that occasion (June 6th, 2023) he beat John Rambo in the trial who has since been to the races and finished 2nd, 1st and 2nd most recently.
After his first up run this preparation, the vet found the presence of mucus in his system and he may have choked down, the most likely attributing factors to him not performing to his trial form.
Better Be Nordy is currently spelling at Kolora Lodge in Queensland for a couple of weeks with the view of coming back into work soon and all things going to plan, being back at the races again in Spring.
Better Be Nordy is the third foal out the of the mare Miss Le Nord. Her first foal, Previso won 5 races and her second foal, his full brother, Nord Lyon, to date has raced 13 times for 3 wins, 3 seconds and a third. He's from the same family as Sejardan, Personify, Personal & Procrastinate and hopefully his best days are still ahead of him.
