  Veterinary Report - 01/12/2023  

Description

Media Scandal is a good looking 4yo mare by Press Statement out of the Duporth mare Aspidistra.

This mare is as honest as they come and has put together a nice race career to date with 4 wins and 8 placings from 15 starts and prizemoney of $109,435. She came back this preparation and won back to back races at Ipswich but unfortunately has since suffered a tendon injury.

Please see attached the vet report dated 1 December 2023. She has been on box rest and small yard confinement since the start of December.

The ownership group don't wish to undertake the rehabilitation program due to the time and uncertainty. As such, Media Scandal is being offered for unreserved sale to dissolve the partnership.

Inspections are welcomed and inquiries should be directed to Julian Blaxland on 0431746803.

** Note - video was taken August 2023 (prior to injury)
