Description

Purchased from the Tattersall's Horses In Training Sale in 2023, King Of Florida came to Australia after having two wins from only a handful of starts and looked to be well placed to go through his grades here, before reaching Group company. On his previous form, he was sharp enough to be performing over 1400m and also get out to 2000m, giving us a good distance range.

He is a quirky horse and has been very disappointing since arriving. He went to the paddock following his most recent run on the 19th of February.

He would suit a small racing stable.

As with all horses sold on behalf of owners all efforts are made to disclose issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do an independent vetting if required.

If further information is required, please contact Daniel Robinson 0412 398 691 or email info@dprbreaking.com
