Description

LIGHTLY RACED IFFRAAJ GELDING.

By one of the most consistent sires in Europe and Australia, who has produced G1 winning sires Wootton Bassett, Jungle Cat, Ribchester and Turn Me Loose. British Poet is still very much an unknown quality having only raced 4 times.

He was an eye-catching 3rd on debut and at just his second start finished 3L behind subsequent G2 winner, G1 placed and Cox Plate runner Evaporate.

There is possibly a lot more to come out of this exciting son of Iffraaj.
