Viva Racing is seeking racing partners to join in the fun and race top quality prospect Bullet Shot.
The 3 year old gelding is by champion sire Redoute's Choice out of five time winner and listed place mare Rendenza. The well bred gelding was a $700,000 yearling and is a terrific type who covers the ground with ease.
Bullet Shot is a lightly raced prospect who has had only 10 starts to date for a win and three placing's. He was a dominant winner over 2000 meters at Kembla Grange late last year, whilst in February he was narrowly beaten at Hawkesbury by Wedgie who was subsequently only beaten less than a length at Group 3 level the following start.
Bullet Shot's last start was in the Group 2 Tulloch Stakes behind winner Levendi.
Lightly race progressive stayers are extremely hard to come by and there is no doubt Bullet Shot is metro quality. He will be aimed towards the Brisbane Metro staying races, whilst his main target is the $100,000 Country Classic over 2000 meters at Randwick in November.
Bullet Shot will be trained by leading metro and group winning trainer Matthew Dunn at Murwillumbah.

*** Update - horse gelded on 18.5.18 and will return to pre-training on 11.6.18***
