Description

Memphis Tennessee is a three-year-old gelding by Pierro out of the G2 winning mare, Aretha. The $300,000 NZB yearling has had just five career starts to date all within the competitive jurisdiction of Sydney or surrounding provincial areas, with his best performance finishing 5th behind Polymnia, who now heads toward the G3 Adrian Knox, in that same race Always Right finished second and is now a subsequent winner.

The gelding has shown plenty at home but unfortunately this has not transferred to race day, often working competitively with Saturday metropolitan horses. We do feel he has something to offer over a staying trip and will appreciate racing in a slightly easier jurisdiction.

During February 2024 Memphis Tennessee was referred to Randwick Equine Centre for a tie back procedure, which was a success and he has since raced without complications. Please see attached veterinary report.

The gelding has been spelling at Mount White since the 4/4 following his most recent run.

Weight- 520kg
