CONTRABANDISTA is a very very cute boy, and being a Gunrunner boy, is as tough as nails while still being as sweet as sugar. He sold a few years ago at Keeneland for $350,000 - with his breeding they had high hopes that he'd be a superstar. While the racetrack may not be his calling, his potential to be that star in his next career is high!
He has some rounding to his ankles, but has been very sound for his current trainer. Trainer says he's a professional and loves life. He will however be very happy to move in a lower key job. He has no reported injuries. He has lovely ground manners and behaves well in his stall. No vices, but he has been seen biting his feed tub at dinner time from time to time.
