Description
UNRESERVED PROJECT HORSE FOR COUNTRY/PROVINCIAL AREA
Warilla Gorilla is a lightly raced 4YO Gelding by Shooting To Win that has shown good potential and has been very unlucky to not break his maiden. He has placed 3 out of his 6 starts, and most recently came third at a provincial level.
Annabel Neasham has always noted he has shown good ability in his trackwork, but has just had some barrier manners to iron out. They have since been rectified, as shown in his most recent trials and races. Following his most recent start, Jockey Kerrin McEvoy that he is a horse that "is still learning... will enjoy more ground and will keep improving each time with more racing."
Unfortunately he sustained a tear in his tendon (see attached vet report) following his most recent run and requires some time in the paddock. With some patience, he would be a perfect project horse that will be sure to reap rewards if rehabilitated properly.
For any
Pulse Racing Thoroughbreds are happy to take the horse back on following his retirement and organise his post-racing career.
