Description

ABLE SEAMAN is an attractive son of MERCHANT NAVY out of the Duporth mare, DEE NINE ELLE, who is a half sister to the Champion racehorse and stallion YES YES YES.

He has only had nine lifetime starts, for 2 wins and one 3rd placing. His wins have come over 1200m and 1690m.

He is a good natured gelding and is no problem to deal with both on the ground and under saddle and is a good eater.

He stands approximately 16.1hh and was is 523kgs after his last run.

He is a horse that still has plenty of upside and he may also benefit from a smaller stable environment and and racing at provincial or country level.

He has been spelling since the 1st of March 2025 after his most recent start, where he ran a close 4th at Eagle Farm over 1600m. He could come straight back in to work should his new owners wish or continue to spell.

Embargoes: No embargoes as of the 6th of March 2025.

He has undergone tie-back surgery and a vet report following his discharge is attached for your reference. He did go on to win both his races after this surgery.

His extended spell was due to recovering from the tie-back surgery and an infected foot abscess.

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do independent vetting if required.

For any further questions please send through all enquiries to stables@gollanracing.com.au
