Description

Castle Of Cards is a 3-year-old filly by Castelvecchio out of the Exceed and Excel mare Dance Card.

Her only start was 8th at Nowra on January 12, 2025, in a Maiden Plate over 1000m.

Castle of Cards is unlikely to meet the current ownership group’s expectations of city-class horses, and she would benefit from an easier grade.

This horse is good around the stable: to ride, float, shoe, and travels to the races well.

This horse is sound and, well, and was trotted up by the vets before going to the spelling paddock on the 15th of January 2025.

Embargos: Castle of Cards had a previous suspension (Fractious in Barrier) on 22nd Feb 2024 at Randwick trials, she has successfully trialled 4 times and raced once since without incident..

Weight: 461Kgs

Height: 15’3

Located at Woodview at Grose Wold in the Richmond area in NSW

We make every effort to disclose previous issues with horses offered for sale and suggest and welcome independent vetting if necessary.
