Description

Houdini Spirit is a lightly raced 3YO gelding by Harry Angel.

Houdini Spirit was beaten a nose at Queanbeyan at his latest start on 18 February. He has had eight starts in provincial and country grade racing, placing 2nd on two occasions in his three most recent starts and he looks sure to win races in slightly easier grade.

As a 3yo, he is still eligible for BOBs bonuses.

He has taken time to settle to racing and should improve further for another spell and a quieter training environment.

He is being sold as his syndicate of owners wish for a City class horse.
