Description
A lightly raced 3YO gelding having had just the two race starts, Grinder is looking for a second chance and needs to head to a country environment where the racing may be better suited for him.
We won't sugar coat it, Grinder has yet to impress in his two race starts but his family is one that is later maturing and given he has had all the hard work done on him getting to the racing stage, he may prove a shrewd investment for someone looking to give him a chance outside of the metro area.
Grinder (by War Chant) is a three-quarter brother to the outstanding DAINTY TESS who won 14 times and well over $1 million. Interestingly Dainty Tess got better with age and in fairness to Grinder, his mother Grindabella was a late maturing type too so perhaps some more time to develop may be just what is needed for Grinder. Grindabella his dam won four races and was seven times placed (finishing top three in 50% of her lifetime starts!), but she never won her first race until she was an Autumn 4YO so it makes sense that Grinder too may in fact just need some more time and be better placed in a smaller yard and racing in country grade.
Being a maiden Grinder can still head to any jurisdiction to race, we see no reason why he couldn't race on any surface and importantly he is being offered for genuine sale.
*Please note Grinder must trial prior to racing after a poor performance at his last race start.
