Description

SLY WITNESS is a 4yo gelding by STAR WITNESS (AUS), from the family of 10 individual stakes performers including breeder’s plate winner Khan and the 3 time Group 1 winner Manighar.

SLY WITNESS is a very lightly tried racehorse with all the patience, education and groundwork already completed for any prospective buyer.

Sly Witness is a well put-together athletic and scopey type and stands at approximately 16/16.1hh.

He is straight-forward to ride, handle, truck, shoe etc.

He has been sound throughout the preparation and is currently out spelling as of 18th of September.

Having just had one race campaign and only 2 starts, this gelding is still inexperienced with plenty of upside and has indicated that he will continue to work through the grades. However, at this stage he has not reached the connections expectations of competing at metropolitan grade, so he has been advertised for genuine unreserved sale to dissolve the large syndicate.

Please note this horse previously had a bilateral knee arthroscopic surgery as a 2yo and has remained sound in his training since.

For more information about this horse, please contact the vendor direct.
