Description

The Storyteller is by Roc De Cambes out of Zabeel mare Animate, making him a full brother to Group 1 placegetter Reminisce. He is still a relatively lightly tried staying horse that broke his maiden in New Zealand and has had 5 starts in Australia finishing no worst than 6th on those occasions.

He is a very sound horse both in wind and limb. He’s an easy horse to have around, he’s quiet to ride, handle and swim.

He would suit a slightly easier racing jurisdiction and does appear to jump quite well in the limited amount of schooling he has done.
