Don't Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

It would pay buyers looking for a serious horse to review the passed in Per Incanto lots at the recent Ready to Run Sale, no matter the vendors expectations.

With over $3 million in the kitty and hopefully more to come, Gringotts looks pretty cheap after been passed in for a reserve of $450,000 at the 2021 RTR sale, while on Saturday at Ellerslie, Twain, pictured, a passing at his reserve of $200,000 at the 2022 RTR sale, once again showed his class when winning his 4th race from just six starts with an outstanding performance to win over 1100 m with 60Kgs.

Now raced by his breeders Elizabeth and Peter Martin, the 4YO gelding is doing a fantastic job of attempting to get a start in the Group 1 Railway, a race that his mother Fleur De Lune won and a race that the Per Incanto mare Santa Monica triumphed in in 2019.

Twain was one of seven winners for Per Incanto this last week.

LA are delighted to offer a full sister to Twain on behalf of the Martins in the Book 1 catalogue at Karaka this January

First and foremost, stockman and people whose interest in the animal translates into an innate ability to read how a horse will develop. I’ll see a foal at LA and Sam or Buzz will tell me how they expect it to develop. I’ll see it during my Karaka inspections 12 months later, and you could blow me over with a feather
