Description

Maracaibo Sun, 4yo horse by Maurice.

Consistent horse, who has had eight career starts, finishing as runner-up three times and securing two additional placings. He remains a Maiden, and we believe he would greatly benefit from being gelded to help him focus on his racing future.

Maracaibo Sun is a striking individual with a stallion's pedigree, purchased for $500,000 at the Inglis Easter Sale. On his dam's side, he hails from a winning Snitzel mare, who is a sister to Wandjina, a three-quarter sister to Lucky Unicorn and Provence, and a half-sister to Inspiration.

Maracaibo Sun is being moved on as he no longer fits the profile of his current ownership group.
