Description

Fifth Major is a lightly raced 4-year-old bay mare by Better Than Ready. She has a muscular, athletic build and stands at approx. 15.3hh. Fifth Major showed plenty of potential as a strong sprinting type with plenty of speed over the 800- 1000m circuits.

Fifth Major has a beautiful temperament and has always been a pleasure to handle, float, shoe, and ride, making her an ideal broodmare prospect.

However, due to degenerative changes in both her knees and airway (throat surgery), owners have now lost patience and have decided to sell. She has been in full work up until March 19th at Eagle Farm racecourse, and all inspections are welcome by appointment.

*Current embargo and must obtain a vet cert if you choose to race again
