We don't know how this horse hasn't managed to win one.
He's run many good races including seconds behind JERSEY SHORE, SHOOT THRU BLU and FRANKENBEANS at Canberra. The FRANKENBEANS race proved an excellent form line as a number of horses behind him that day have come out and won, including EMINENT DOMAIN which ran 2nd on Saturday 3rd November in Sydney.
His best races have been over sprint distances but last start at Adaminaby over 1400m showed there might be hope over extra ground as mid race he drifted back near last before making up 4 or 5 lengths in the short 300m straight. The race was run slow on a leaders biased track and jockey thought he just needed an extra 50m and would have won.
He really is a lovely horse to handle. Very quiet, even walked himself into the barriers one race without the jockey or barrier attendant asking him.
We think there is potential still as a race horse but due to his great temperament would make an excellent farm, show horse or even just a pet.
