Description

Hard Pick is a 4yo gelding by Flying Artie from Bail Up (Bel Esprit). He has had 14 starts for 1 win and 3 placings, all in very competitive provincial races. His preferred distance is from 1200m up to 1600m and has shown he can perform on all surfaces whether it is good or heavy going. He is easy to handle and floats without a problem. He has definitely got more wins in him around the provincial / country areas. The owners are selling to reduce their stock and do regret putting Hard Pick on the market.
