Description
By champion sire Sea The Stars, Formidable Force is an extremely lightly raced gelding having only had eight race starts, with just three in Australia.
After racing on the 2nd of April at Warwick Farm, Formidable Force has gone to the paddock as a sound horse but mentally immature. He is still acclimatising to the Australian way of training and adapting to our tracks. He would benefit from a good spell and some time, before racing in a weaker jurisdiction to gain some confidence.
He is being moved on as the ownership group have a number of other horses they wish to concentrate on.
Weight: Approx. 475kg
Height: TBC
GST: TBC
Location: Torryburn Stud, Vacy
Embargoes: No embargoes as of 1st April 2025.
As with all horses sold on behalf of owners all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do an independent vetting if required.
