Race Record: 23 Starts – 3 Wins – 10 Placings

Prizemoney: $230,000+

Approximate Height & Weight: 15.3hh / 513kg

Mantua is a consistent and in-form gelding who is currently in full work at our Cranbourne stable. He last raced at Ballarat on 1st July and continues to perform competitively at his current level.

From 23 starts, he has recorded 3 wins and 10 placings, amassing over $230,000 in prizemoney. He is a quality horse and remains a very appealing racing proposition for connections looking for a proven, ready-to-race galloper.

He is only being moved on as the majority of ownership wish to reduce their stock numbers.

A great opportunity to secure a race-fit, genuine gelding with strong form and upside in his current grade.
