Great opportunity to race this athletic son of Thorn Park, Mio Gem. He was trained at Caulfield where he's had only 1 start for a 7th at Pakenham being beaten only 5lengths after drawing a very wide barrier in 12. He made good late ground where he was 12th on the turn and finished well for 7th.
The owner is looking only to race horses with genuine melbourne metropolitan ability. This gelding is sound but has confidence issues amongst other horses, he would benefit from a trainer willing to put in the time to work him in amongst other horses and tinkering with gear, blinkers, pacifiers etc. He would be a perfect horse for interstate or Victorian Provincial.
Please call me to discuss further, this is a lovely type of gelding who has scope for improvement and is great value at the price.
