Brief Happiness
Class 1 Gelding - Winner at Toowoomba over 1300m!
(GST status not known)
(GST status not known)
Brief Happiness is a sound 6yo Gelding by Brief Truce.
He is out of a Sovereign Red winning mare that has produed 4 winners so far including Brief Happiness. This is a very good family with the likes of Group 1 Winner "Hill of Grace" and "I like Diamonds" prominent in the pedigree.
He has been spelling for 9 weeks and is best suited to 1200-1600m races.
Once racing he is a very consistent and tough horse. After winning his maiden over 1300m at Toowoomba, he finished in the top 6 his next 6 starts, only a length or two off them.
He is just looking for an easier grade and being a class 1 horse, will be able to go through his grades if placed in the right area.
