Description

Exciting gelding by boom sire Tassort.

Close My Eyes is out of the very fast Black Type earning Choisir mare called Tell Me. Tell Me’s first foal, Town Crier was a metropolitan winner on debut.

Close My Eyes is Tell Me’s second foal.

Close My Eyes has had just one start where he started as $2 favourite on the tight track at Mornington where he missed the kick and wasn’t beaten far.

He was immediately freshened and is ready to go back into full work.

Horse is being sold due to owner wanting to sell down all bloodstock holdings.

Please contact Billie for more information.
