Description
10% SHARE ONLY
Pole Position is a lightly raced (15 starts) three-time winner who has earned over $100,000 in prize money so far and seems to be improving with age. Importantly, he is very versatile having won on both dry surfaces and rain affected tracks.
In his most recent preparation he recorded 3 consecutive placings on Sydney metropolitan tracks.
Pole Position is currently spelling and is scheduled to return to work in a few weeks’ time. For his next preparation, the Syndicate of owners has determined to race him in the easier grade of Brisbane, with the talented Annabel Neasham as trainer, where his race record suggests that he should be extremely well placed to capitalise.
The purchaser must agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and Syndicate Deed issued by Triple Crown Bloodstock Pty Ltd for this horse (see attached).
