Description

Better Be Slick is a sound 4-year-old gelding with 2 wins and 6 placings (including a metropolitan win and 3 metropolitan placings) from 15 race starts in his career to date.

Better Be Slick has been a consistent racehorse always showing good ability, however he hasn’t reached metropolitan grade in south-east Queensland and the owners are wanting to move him on. This gelding has recently completed a preparation which included a provincial win over 1350m at Ipswich. He should be well suited to a country or provincial area to be trained and race.

He is a pleasure to have in the stable with a lovely temperament, and a very easy horse to train and handle.

As with all horses offered for sale, we recommend all prospective buyers obtain an independent veterinary check before they bid.
