Description
It's a Mistake is a lovely strong bay gelding 16.1H, 555kgs. He may be 6yo but he has been extremely patiently handled only having 11 starts for 2 wins and 3 placings, winning from 1200m to 1300m. He has never had any soundness issues, he was 560kgs as a 2yo and we gave him plenty of time in the paddock to mature and he is now a very sound 6yo with clean legs. Ignore his last start, he did not like the nose roll at all and threw in the towel at the 600m so we have now removed it. He has a heap more ability than what his recent form shows, he is dynamite fresh but then his form tapers off after a hard 1st up run. All he needs is a freshen up and he will be a very cheap purchase as his rating of 60 is still low for a horse of his ability.
He is sound as a bell as per the attached vet report and is Grade 2 on the scope. His joints resemble a 3yo, not an 6yo and has never had any injuries. He is a very good doer, has a kind quiet nature and is good to ride, shoe, travel, etc. He loves being fresh and races spaced so he doesn't need a lot of work.
We sell older horses like Keep On Loving You and Higher Love that go on to win races. They have been very well looked after and are extremely sound with plenty of miles left in them.
