It is probably a bit of a rarity today – a 4yo (about to turn official 5yo in a few days) mare that has qualified as a very early 3yo, shown promise, handled and jogged up regularly, been given time to develop, and has no issues… But has only had 4 starts, including a very eye-catching 2nd, and some lousy draws and bad checks so far combining to thwart her.
She’s co-owned by myself and Kym Kearns, and she’s for sale. As they say, “ripe for the picking” with physical maturity and strength, bone density, great manners….and experience is all she needs.
She’s racing tomorrow night at the Kumeu meeting at Alexandra Park, another back-draw row in a field where second line on the pole may or may not be great. She’s a horse that is still learning ring craft. But its worth a watch if you are interested in buying a mare that has real ability (check out her 2nd in her first start and the only start where she has had any luck at all), great connections, and is lovely to handle, willing to learn, competitive type.
That pretty much sums up the horse we have developed from a weanling to a mare, called Elect To Go (aka Reddy).
Elect To Go – mare by Gotta Go Cullect x Innsbruck. 15.2h.
Very closely related to Pachacuti ($190,314 , 21 wins to date). Half to Tirol’s Sallance ($84,000) and three-quarters to Sovereign Faith (11 wins, $72,000 to date).
Bought from Alabar as a weanling. Qualified as a very early 3yo in 2013. Basically just had a series of preparations (as part of Kym’s learning as a trainer) and some spells over the next 18 months while Kym concentrated on racing another horse.
Currently racing.
Not expensive.
