Description

GUNMETAL is a 4YO grey gelding by 4 time Group 1 winner Ribchester, out of the Listed Festival Stakes winner - WHITE SAGE

GUNMETAL is a very lightly tried racehorse with all of the patience, education and groundwork already completed for any prospective buyer.

He put together two successful racing preparations for connections, including a win and two placings under Cody Morgan.

GUNMETAL is a striking, well put-together, athletic and scopey type and stands at approximately 16hh.

He has been sound throughout the preparation and is currently out spelling since his last start on the 26th of April.

Having just had three race campaigns and only 9 starts, this gelding is still inexperienced with plenty of upside and has indicated that he will continue to work through the grades.

However, at this stage he has not reached the connections expectations of competing at metropolitan grade, so he has been advertised for genuine unreserved sale to dissolve the large syndicate.

He was purchased from the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale for $110,000.

Please note this horse requires an experienced rider
