Description

A rare opportunity presents itself to get involved in a very handy last start winner, Formal, a 3yo Exceed And Excel gelding who is currently mid prep with a 5% share becoming available.

Formal is an ex Godolphin galloper who was recently acquired by Calibre Racing Group and is now trained by Nathan Doyle. He broke his Maiden with a very tough win at Port Macquarie on the 24th Jan after sitting three wide on the speed in what looks to be a handy form race. He is BOBS bonus eligible.

He is a horse that looks to have above average ability. He was targeted by Calibre Racing Group to continue on their impeccable and successful run of finding tried horses for their owners.

He is currently in work and doing well after his last start victory. Formal is set to race again at either Newcastle on the 10th Feb or Hawkesbury the 12th Feb looking to make it 2 wins in a row, pulling off a plan for current owners, before going on with things.

The horse is well and sound and all efforts are made to disclose any issues. We will however take no liability after the sale and suggest independent vetting if required.

Formal is managed by Calibre Racing Group therefore the buyer will be bound by the syndicate deed. You can contact us to obtain a copy prior to bidding.
