Description
Kings Castle is a lovely European that requires much more time to compete in Australia.
He has had two runs, but unfortunately, he hasn’t measured up, and his owners want to move him on and focus on other horses.
Kings Castle is very straightforward but will require plenty of time to reach his best. He is good to handle on the track, around the stables, and at the races.
Kings Castle went to the spelling paddock in the Grose Vale area on 22nd July 2024 after being trotted up before the vets.
A current vet certificate is attached.
Height: 16.1hh
Weight: 457kgs
We make every effort to disclose previous issues with horses offered for sale, and we suggest and welcome independent vetting if required.
