WIDGEE TURF
“Thoroughbreds can do anything physically. If they’ve got a tough mindset they’re even better. He’s got the smarts for sure, he’s so adaptable.” “He’ll have a great life up at Mansfield and he deserves it, too.” The career of Widgee Turf is a true racing fairy tale; a $4500 weanling sold through the Inglis Great Southern Sale, the horse then became a cult hero with punters thanks to his will to win and dazzling closing speed, and retired a million-dollar earner, healthy and sound. A horse that gave so many so much joy on the track, it’s only fitting that the Widgee Turf story has a happy ending.
