Description
Sentimental Hero (Al Maher x Sentimental Star) - 16.2hh
Outstanding big strong type from a family filled with stakes winners, and already a winner of 6 races and $280,000!
He was an impressive winner of a 72+ by 2.4L on the 22nd of June at his ideal distance over 1600m, however he's also previously won at 1200, 1300 and 1400 showing he can prove effective at a range of distances.
He would be suitable to keep racing in the city or could be a great option for country cups. Easy to handle and ride, and would be one of the best looking horses in any stable.
