  Veterinary Report 23/3/24  

Description

This lightly raced son of I AM INVINCIBLE has plenty of racing upside and is only being sold on as he does not fit the profile of horse that his ownership group wish to race.

Group Two placed at two over 1200m on just his second start, he is currently in full work and most recently was 3rd at Kensington over 1100m, beaten just 0.76 lengths. That looks to be a good form race as the second horse that day, his stable mate RAVENCLAW, won very impressively next time out.

A $375,000 yearling purchase, ARMED FORCES is a half-brother to successful sire and multiple Group One winner TURFFONTEIN. He is closely related to the $2,500,000 earner ATTRACTABLE (I Am Invincible) who was 2nd in this season’s Group Two The Ingham.

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose any previous issues, we recommend that all purchasers undertake independent veterinary inspections.
