Description

Ready to go, ready to race, don’t wait.

Lightly race three-year-old Obstructionist is available for sale. 

His owners have made the ruthless decision after just two starts to move him on to make space for their 2024 yearlings. 

All the heavy lifting as he is ready to continue racing. He has had two starts over 1300m and is expected to relish stepping up in trip. 

The Savabeel gelding is sound, an easy to ride, floats well, swims well and a pleasure to handle.

An inspection is available during this auction by appointment only – please call Jack 

on 0434 577 419 to organise.
