Description

Commando Jack is a four-year-old gelding by Churchill out of Flying Strike. He is lightly raced, having just 11 starts with two placings.

He has taken time to mature mentally and is still improving on his race craft, although it has improved significantly. He can be strong in his gallops, recently appreciating them being more spaced.

He is a good looking individual and is very, very quick. Last prep, his first up run was very good, but he came out of it with muscle strain. It was going to take time for it to come right and the owners have decided to move him on.

Once he is ready to begin his next prep, he will be the ideal animal for Highway races in town.

Commando Jack is for genuine sale and all enquiries are welcome. 473kg & 16.1hh
