Description

TOWERS HILL is a lightly raced 4YO gelding by HELLBENT out of the ILOVETHISCITY mare, PLENTY TO LIKE.

He has only had 6 lifetime starts for finishing just behind the placings in all of these.

He was last seen racing at TOOWOOMBA on the 16th of November 2024 and was sent to the spelling paddock straight after this run. He could come back in work if his new owners desired or continue to spell.

He is being sold as his ownership group would prefer to race Metropolitan class horses.

He is a horse that still has plenty of upside and may be suited racing in a provincial or country grade. He is good to handle on the ground and also under saddle.

He stands approximately 15.2hh and weighs 467kgs.

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do independent vetting if required.

For any further questions please contact Claire Bird on 0407 115 349 or alternatively please send through all enquiries to stables@gollanracing.com.au
