Description
PROGRESSIVE GELDING WITH PROVEN SYDNEY METRO FORM FOR UNRESERVED SALE
For unreserved sale is House of Cards, a lightly raced 4YO son of Exceed and Excel.
A highly consistent performer, House of Cards has won 3 times and placed a further 4 times from just 11 starts.
A horse with proven Sydney metropolitan form and ability, in his last 3 starts he has been highly competitive at BM 72 level, running 2.66L 5th, 1.03L 3rd and 1.16L 2nd starting favourite or 2nd favourite on each occasion.
His current benchmark rating of 69 and Class 3 eligibility gives his new owners plenty of options going forward.
House of Cards is race fit, having last raced on Feb 26th and is ready to race on for his new owners with plenty of upside to his career.
He is a very consistent horse and has won from 1200 up to 1400m. He is very easy to handle around the stable and do anything with.
Early in his career he was fractious in the barriers which resulted in the below embargoes. These issues are now behind him, with the use of the blindfold in the barriers he has had no issues loading or jumping and has raced successfully since.
