Description

A lovely 3 year old son of star witness, that will suit any jurisdiction. With future improvement to come this gelding has already proven he has ability.

Clean and sound legged, approx 478kg race fit absconded witness has had 2 starts to date with a 4th at his first start beaten 1 length where he was very green. Whilst his second start he won impressively as Ballarat, whilst still showing his greenness within the run, and how much he will improve with racing. His form from that race has been very strong it confirms there is plenty of improvement and wins left in absconded witness.

He has been plagued with extreme wide barriers since and has been scratched on several occasions resulting in him trialling recently to keep him at race fit level, where he ran a nice 4th hard held against above metro grade horses.

Absconded witness is for sale due to dissolve of partnership and all enquires and vetting are welcome.
