Veterinary Report 17/10/24

Description

Dark Chill is a 5yo gelding by Dawn Approach (IRE) out of a 2-time winning Exceed And Excel mare.

Lightly raced with 15 starts for two wins and nine placings, Dark Chill has been a consistent horse for his connections earning over $85,000 in prizemoney.

Last preparation he was an impressive near 3 length winner at the Sunshine Coast and never finishing worse than 4th.

Late last year, Dark Chill pulled up sore following a piece of work and had strained an upper suspensory where it attaches to the back of the knee. Please find attached veterinary report.

He has had a three month spell along with shockwave therapy and is now ready to find a new home.

The trainer has taken the view he is a Provincial grade horse and, while the ownership group have had plenty of fun, they have decided to disperse and offer him for sale.
