Description
Never Give Up is a sound, consistent gelding who is a nice type and easy to train. He has only raced in metropolitan and provincial class and has finished no worse than 5th in 7 of his 8 starts. His best distances are from 1200 – 1600 metres and he is still only a Class 2 horse.
A good buy for someone out of town.
