Description

Waitapu is a 5yo Sacred Falls gelding with a career record of 23: 4-1-1 and a current VIC rating of 64.

A winner three starts back at Stony Creek on December 29, he has disappointed at his two most recent starts when travelling too keen in the run. (Genuine excuses for the below-par performances)

Waitapu is sound and straight-forward to lead/handle on the ground. Has the ability to handle all track conditions but as is typical of Sacred Falls progeny appreciates those that are soft/rain affected.

The horse is capable of winning further races in Victoria when placed to advantage in the future and has the right profile to succeed quickly in a weaker jurisdiction and prove a great money-spinner for new connections.

Independent vetting inspections are welcomed - with current records remaining the property of Busuttin Racing.

All of Waitapu's race form/replays are accessible via Racing.com
