Description
El Fortress is a 3YO gelding by the very good and promising stallion, Tassort. He started off his career very well with 2 seconds but hasn't had the best of luck in his recent starts. However he is not far off winning a maiden. This horse has plenty of upside and is paid up for QTIS and Magic Millions bonuses.
