Description

Pins and Needles is a well bred, lightly raced daughter of Nicconi, being sold as a racing and breeding prospect to dissolve a partnership.

The has 5 top two finishes from her 13 start career so far, and she should have arguably won more races than just the one. She hasn't had much luck in her short career, and likes the sting out of the track.

She is race fit, and ready to go to a Class 1 for her new owners where she will certainly be more than competitive.

She is a lovely physical, easy to deal with and has no vices. Lovely mare. To our knowledge she is perfectly sound at the time of listing, but vet inspections are most welcome/encouraged before bidding. She is at Hannover Lodge.
