Description

Out of four-time winner Save The Date, by Pierro, this middle-distance gelding was purchased out of the Inglis Ready To Race Sale.

After competing consistently throughout his racing career, his last two runs have been below par and therefore the owners are wishing to move him on.

He was disappointing at his most recent run when eased up and jockey comments were that he just didn’t stay the 2400m trip.

He would be a welcomed addition to any country stable and be winning in a slightly weaker racing jurisdiction.

He has been spelling since the 9th of December, waiting for this sale.

Weight: 488kg

Height: Approx 15.3hh

GST: 20%

Location: Grand Parkview Stud, Queensland

Embargoes: No embargoes as of 1st January 2025.

As with all horses sold on behalf of owners all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do an independent vetting if required.
