  Vet Report  

Description

THE SWOOPER is a 4-year-old gelding by Divine Prophet out of the All Too Hard mare, Hardly Surprisingly.

Lightly raced, he has had nine career starts to date including a win at Moonee Valley and metropolitan placings on three other occasions.

He has been given plenty of time to mature and is a well-educated horse, and he would be well suited to the provincial circuit or an easier jurisdiction such as Queensland or South Australia.

Unfortunately, he has recently sustained a tendon injury (please refer to the attached veterinary report).

The Swooper is being sold with no reserve to dissolve the partnership.

Height: 16.1hh

Nominated for Super VOBIS and VOBIS Gold eligible.
