Recently moved to KZN, he has joined up with the Alyson Wright stable and has settled in well. He hasn’t shown too much thus far and we’ll be hoping the change of scenery does the trick for this son of Pathfork.

This son of Pathfork is yet to show much promise in his work at home so this outing may just be the test he needs to bring him on. We’ll be hoping for a reasonable performance first up.
