Description

Owner is cutting back on numbers

Albanian Bay is a 3-time winning Cable Bay gelding

Due to no fault of his own he is up for unreserved sale as his owner is cutting back on numbers.

He is easy to work and handle. Albanian Bay can handle any surface and will be an excellent acquisition for a Country or Provincial Stable. He still has plenty to offer and is knocking on the door for a win
