Description

Velia is a lightly raced 3year-old filly who is knocking the door down to break her maiden. She is easy to deal with and has showed the ability to win multiple races. She has been in a paddock since her previous run on May 19 and will no doubt improve off the back of a break.

She is being moved on at the ownership groups' request.

** Please note she does have a graft on her eye from when she was a foal, she has full sight and has been no issue. **
