Description

WINNER ONLY THREE STARTS AGO IN BM64 GRADE

VANKUKLA is a 4 year old gelding who has won 2 times and placed a further 5 from his 16 career starts under Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young. He was good winning three starts ago at Bendigo in benchmark 64 grade before getting a long way back at Kyneton where it was hard to make ground and then worked home well at Seymour at his last start with his current owners with the big weight.

He's a much better horse on top of the ground having had 8 runs on wet ground for only two placings which were at his first two career starts. His runs on good surfaces have been consistent and he is a very honest horse who rarely runs a bad race.

The ownership group voted to sell him as they want to focus on their stock that they have that are metropolitan quality in Victoria, NSW and QLD. Vankukla would be a welcome addition to any stable in regional Victoria and has metropolitan ability in Adelaide and Queensland but a step below in Melbourne and NSW.
