Description
Take Me To Church is a lightly raced chestnut gelding who possesses a fair amount of ability.
He won his debut race extremely stylishly, coming from dead last in an 8-horse field to win comfortably. A decent offer immediately came in from HK which was turned down by the ownership group.
He followed that up with 2 good runs in BM64 metro and city grade races, where he was again ridden cold and didn't have the pace or ground to suit. It was a big first prep for him and his debut performance took a bit out of him which showed in the last 2 races.
He has been back in full training for a couple of months now and is racing at either Goulburn on Friday (21st) or Hawkesbury next Tuesday (25th). If his recent trial is anything to go by, he'll be extremely hard to beat; he finished 2nd to Customized (Group 3 placed) and was effortlessly taking ground off him through the line.
We are only selling the share due to dissolving the syndicate.
