Description
MAKTABI was purchased as a yearling from the Magic Millions sale in January 2022 for $380,000 is a good looking, scopey horse by WRITTEN BY out high-quality producer HERIZ.
He showed great potential as a 2yo, running 4 lengths behind TOM KITTEN at his only start as a 2yo.
In a barrier trial at Randwick in May he found the line well running fifth, however his rider noticed he was making a noise with his breathing and a subsequent scope revealed that he will require a throat operation to get the best out of him.
That operation was completed successfully and he was also gelded shortly thereafter.
He moved stables to Canberra but hasn't lived up to the expectations we had for him. He's had a long campaign, recovering from the throat operation and gelding and we believe he simply needs a good long spell so he can find his mojo and desire to race, once more.
He will be a great buy for an astute buyer. Feel free to call Todd on 0438 008 907 to discuss.
