Description

By Dual Group One winning European Champion two-year old, CHURCHILL (IRE), out of a granddaughter of multiple Stakes producer, Hard Rider (NZ), Winter Offensive has plenty of upside but is not currently holding his place in a Melbourne metropolitan stable. He is closely related to ASFOORA, winner of the 2023 Group Two Schillaci Stakes.

Winter Offensive has been luckless in his last few starts, who has placed second and third in strong Victorian provincial maidens, he is all primed to win his maiden in the near future. He is due for a spell since his last start.

Hesket Bloodstock offers this horse under the rules of usual public auction.

The vendor makes no representation as to the current or future soundness of this horse, and you are welcome to arrange your own veterinary inspection prior to the completion of the auction.
