Description

Watermelon is a lightly raced 3YO gelding having had 3 starts to date following a metro trial win. We believe he is more suited to a non-metro stable which presents as a good opportunity for the new buyer.

He has plenty of racing in him and has raced from 1300-1600m.

Any questions please get in touch. Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we recommend that all purchasers undertake independent veterinary inspections.
