Description
Murmurs, by I Am Invincible out of winning mare Taste Of Heaven, was a $600,000 Magic Millions yearling purchase and has an outstanding pedigree with the likes of MANHATTAN RAIN, ECHOES OF HEAVEN, PLATINUM SCISSORS and REDOUTE'S CHOICE all closely related.
He is a very lightly raced three year old gelding having had only three race starts.
After having only the one racing preparation, this gelding went to the paddock as a sound horse on the 27th of February, with the intent of having a six week break but is being sold to dissolve the partnership.
He would benefit from some time, and potentially a weaker racing jurisdiction.
Weight: Approx 500kg
Height: 16hh
GST: 40%
Location: Newington Farm, QLD
As with all horses sold on behalf of owners all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do an independent vetting if required.
