  Veterinary Report - 4/10/24  

Description

Balmoral is a lightly-raced son of Royal Meeting, who is also the sire of Group 1 Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi from his very first crop of runner in Australia.

He has shown good ability in his two starts to date, running a close fourth in a $100,000 Inglis Bonus maiden at the Sunshine Coast and then a good second in a strong maiden at Hawkesbury on 7th September. He is ready to go on and break his maiden for new connections.

Reoffered as horse is ineligible for export due to being Hendra vaccinated. 

He stands 16.1hh and weighs 528kgs.
