Description
Artspace is a 4yo Tavistock gelding with a career record of 8: 0-1-2 who has demonstrated the ability to win a maiden in Victoria but is yet to do so.
After two placings to end his summer preparation, including a tough 2nd place finish at Yarra Valley, he didn't come to hand as hoped this time in with the decision recently made by his ownership group that he be moved on.
Artspace profiles to achieve racing success in a slightly weaker jurisdiction (provincial NSW/QLD/SA) - especially given the weaker staying ranks at 2000m+ and could work his way through the grades.
Artspace went to the paddock sound following his most recent race start at Murtoa. He is straight-forward to lead/handle and ride with no vices.
Following his race debut at Pakenham an epiglottic entrapment was discovered. Artspace had a procedure to resolve this and has since returned to racing.
