Description
Rufus Atticus Sales Copy Inglis Digital
Rufus Atticus is a handsome, well-bred 3yo chestnut gelding by The Autumn Sun x Champagne Run. He stands at approximately 16hh, and is lightly raced having only five starts for one placing.
He has raced at city, provincial and country tracks in NSW, with his best performance being at Canberra, where he finished 3rd over 1400m on April 2nd 2025, beaten only 1.89 lengths. We think he is capable of getting over much more ground as he is a little one paced, and seems to be effective in soft going, but not heavy. We also think he would be best suited to country NSW, or jurisdictions such as South Australia or Queensland.
Rufus Atticus is being sold as a racing proposition on behalf of the owners as their preference is for city grade horses. He is a good-natured boy, with a pliable character, who we think needs longer distances and easier opposition.
