Description
Littlebirdie is a 4yo Shamus Award mare with a career record of 11: 1-1-3 and a current VIC rating of 57.
She is straight forward to lead, handle and ride in trackwork with no obvious vices.
Littlebirdie can be considered unlucky to have not won a further race or two during her career to date and appears to profile well for future racing away from the highly competitive Victorian landscape.
Placed to her best advantage in the future in a slightly weaker jurisdiction she possesses the ability to win more races.
Littlebirdie is a Grade 3 upon scope and structurally sound at present.
Independent vetting inspections are welcomed and encouraged - with current records remaining the property of Busuttin Racing.
All of Littlebirdie's relevant race form and replays are accessible via Racing.com
