Wow, this boy is stunning. His trainer states that he is just done with racing and is
available to his next career. He is good in his stall, and nice on the ground - on the day of the photos he was being a bit fresh :) He does not crib, weave, stall walk or bite, he is a gentle guy.
We have now seen him in person, the trainer had him sent to us for his Glamour Shots! He is adorable and such a good boy. Stunning and very athletic propect. He will be able to move into ANY new career very quickly. He has not raced or trained in a month, as he was at Hawthorne and it closed for TB training.
In 2021, this boy sold at the Keeneland Sale for $90,000. He has great breeding with Cairo Prince on top (Pioneer of the Nile, Empire Maker), and Giant's Causeway and other solid citizens on the bottom.
