Description

Well put together, strongly built mare. Approximately 16 hands, 527kg. Handles all going, a race winner on a Good 3, a trial winner on a Soft 6. A winner over 1400m, has performed well over 1600m.

Her dam, Forjo, was a very exciting young race filly who won both of her 2 starts impressively before unfortunately a leg injury ended her racing career and she was retired to stud.

It must be noted that she has had tightness over her sacroiliac previously that has required maintenance.

If you are a buyer from Victoria and plan to race her there do note that she is VOBIS Platinum, and therefore VOBIS Gold, and presents opportunity to significantly increase her earning potential through the various bonuses on offer.
