Description

Skyhawk is a five-year-old gelding by Air Force Blue out of Big Birdie. Very lightly raced, he has had just seven starts for two placings. He has impressed his riders in all preparations and was given time to mature and furnish, to find a comfortable racing pattern. He is a very strong, good looking individual with an good nature. He is an easy ride with few bad habits.

Skyhawk has been spelling since the 20/12/23. Once he is ready to go back into work, probably late February, he could be the perfect candidate for Highway races in town.

Skyhawk is for genuine sale and all enquiries are welcome. 514kg and stands 16.1hh
