Description

Canadian Express is a consistent performer by the same sire as Group One superstar Overpass!

Canadian Express has been a solid and consistent performer, with one win and four placings from just 14 starts, finishing 4th a further 4 times!

Canadian Express pulled up sound from his third placing at Kembla Grange on 12 December and has been spelling since.

He has been a stable favourite, with a good attitude and has been a straightforward, uncomplicated horse throughout his time in training.

He stands at approximately 16.1hh, he is a good-doing horse and is vice free. Good to handle, ride, shoe, truck and float, swim, treadmill etc.

Unfortunately, Canadian Express has not lived up to owners' expectations of being metropolitan grade in NSW, so his large ownership group have made the decision to advertise him for genuine unreserved sale.

All of the hard work and education work has been done and he is ready to continue back into training and racing for new connections.
