Description

Bullets High is a lightly raced gelding by Ace High from a strong staying family. A neat, athletic type, he was showing encouraging signs in his recent preparation and trialled at Warwick Farm in April with a view to returning to the races in the winter.

Unfortunately, he sustained a tendon injury following that trial. A full veterinary report is attached to the listing. The injury will require time and management, but a return to racing is considered possible with the appropriate rehabilitation.

He has always been a sound horse with no prior issues and handled his work in a professional manner. Prior to the injury, he was showing the right signs to develop into a genuine staying prospect.

Bullets High is currently spelling at Thenford Farm and is offered as-is, with full transparency provided.
