Description

Sure Thing (4g Akeed Mofeed – Lalani, by Lonhro) is being sold as a racing proposition.

A consistent performer, placed twice to 1800 metres in his first campaign, he comfortably won a jump out on 3 September at Cranbourne, before resuming with a close third in the Maiden 1628 metres at Donald (Victoria).

He then put in a head-scratching performance over 1619 metres on 30 September at Moe (Victoria), before dropping considerably in distance for the Maiden 1000 metres on 14 October at Bairnsdale (Victoria), where he showed speed to share a competitive pace and kept finding for third.

A nice type of horse, with a good action and balance, he is a half-brother to three winners of 14 races from 900m – 1250 metres.

He may best be suited to keeping fresh and racing over sprint distances, at least in the short- term, as there is plenty among the performances of his siblings to suggest that.

He is race fit, having last raced on 14 October, with a good effort for third, and ready to go.

By Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) son Akeed Mofeed, Sure Thing has a pedigree cross through his dam-lines to Danehill, and a majority of wins by the progeny of Akeed Mofeed have been between 1000m – 1300 metres.

He stands at 16’0hh and is sound with clean limbs. For sale due to the owners reducing their number of racing stock.

Sure Thing will be sold from the Cranbourne Training Centre. Please feel free to contact Ben Gleeson on +61 437 269 848
