Description
Absinthe is a 4yo daughter of the terrific stallion Toronado, the sire of Masked Crusader, Shelby Sixtysix, Mariamia and Bois D'Argent.
Absinthe was a 160K purchase at the 2022 Adelaide MM sale and she herself is a half sister to a Group 1 winner in Precious Gem.
Absinthe has shown plenty of natural ability and recently won a jump out impressively at Murray Bridge.
She is being sold to dissolve the partnership as unfortunately she is required to have an extended period of time off due to injury.
