Bio

WILLIAM (NZ)

Introducing Toward Reward’s latest racing prospect, a lightly raced 4YO tried horse secured out of New Zealand, the flashy chestnut gelding by CASTLEDALE (IRE) with an extremely quirky name, William (NZ)!

The horse was sourced by our Bloodstock Agent, Lenny Russo of Bluegrass Bloodstock, and was secured privately from the breeder, trainer, and owner, Mrs Lesley Munro, for just $40K NZD! WILLIAM recently finished just 1.2L back from Mr Mojo Risin’, who subsequently went on to run 2nd next start in an $80K BM78 at Sandown on Saturday the 27th of May! Mr Mojo Risin’ has proved himself at VIC Metro grade on 4 occasions in Australia during his winter campaign. William arrived in Australia on Wednesday the 14th of June and settled in nicely into his new home at Cranbourne. He recently took his place in a 1000M jump out at Cranbourne on the turf and will now look to have his race debut in the next two weeks time.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in a quality tried horse, and you won’t have to wait long to cheer him home at the races! Handles soft ground & the synthetic, and will be the ideal horse for midweek city class or better on the turf through winter! Get involved today and be back at the races in the next two weeks! 

NZ bred horses recently won 8 of the 10 G1 races during The Championships at Randwick and as of the 8th of June have won 21 Australia G1’s this racing season alone!
