Businessman is a quality gelding that has the majority of his form around arguably Australia's strongest Provincial track being Geelong. Having 30 starts for 2 Wins & 4 Placings this gelding is a Geelong winner over 1900m but has also placed at the track from 1300m to 2200m. He has also run 5th at the strong Echuca Track over 1600m.
Any buyers wanting a Provincial/Country Cups horse I'm very confident this horse fits the bill. Get him out of the strong Vic Provincials and there should be no excuses that he doesn't go through his grades.
Rated 55, In Full Work, Easy to handle & Floats well.
Vet inspections welcome.
