HORSES FOR SALE 

Check out this strong 2YO Gelding by sire of the moment, Reliable Man, selected by John Foote at the recent New Zealand Ready to Run Sales. Reliable Man is a hot stallion right now with two Gr1 3YO Oaks winners this season: the NZ Oaks with Sentimental Miss, and the VRC Oaks just two weeks ago with Miami Bound. He has also sired two stakes-placed performers: 3YO colt Battenberg who was third in the Gr1 Spring Champion Stakes, and 4YO gelding, Sully, placed in a JRA Cup and Herbert Power in the spring.

To be trained by Paul Presumer at his Horsham stables, this horse is perfectly suited to Paul's training regime and he can't wait to get him into his system, which includes a variety of training styles including his much talked about deep sand training track that served  him so well in preparing the somewhat unlucky Surprise Baby to run 5th in this years Melbourne Cup. His 200m breeze up, which can be viewed at the bottom of the article, shows a horse that did it very easily. John Foote was very taken by the horse’s athleticism and constitution, along with a very strong pedigree on both the sire and dam sides. He’s by a Group 2 winning Royal Academy mare, Regal Kiss, who has had 6 foals to race for 5 winners. Her sixth foal, an El Roca filly called La Joya, ran third in NZ recently. This guy is the perfect combination of great type and pedigree to give him every chance of success on the racecourse. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t9I6zSX1sw[/embed]
