Description

Marnix is a tall, leggy 16.2hh six-year-old chestnut gelding by Written Tycoon x Dutch Romance. He was originally trained by James Cummings for Godolphin and has been trained by Richard Litt since June 2021.

He has had 30 starts for 5 wins and 10 placings, giving him a 50% strike rate, over distances ranging from 1200m to 1550m. Four of his wins were for Richard Litt and all were at city metropolitan tracks at Saturday and mid-week races, with his most recent win being at Royal Randwick on Saturday, October 28th 2023. His latest performance was at Canterbury Park on Friday, February 16th where he ran a bold 3rd coming from the rear of the field.

Marnix has won and placed on all going but he is probably most effective on soft tracks. His recent performances show he is still very competitive at city level and would have good potential in NSW and Queensland.

He is being sold on behalf of the owners to make room for their young horses coming through. Marnix is a lovely athletic horse with a good temperament and comes complete with a vets certificate. He is sound, he is fit and ready to run.
