Description
Great chance to own a lightly raced gelding in Going Nuclear.
The son of Nicconi has had eight career starts for a win and second placing. He last raced on at Wangaratta last Thursday (June 20) where he finished fourth.
The three-year-old would be suited to a weaker racing environment and would also benefit from being trained in a beach environment.
He is around 15'3 in height and weighed in at 499kg on June 17. The horse floats well, is a good ride and is easy to do anything with.
Inspections at Flemington can be organised by appointment only during this auction by calling Jack on 0434 577 419.
