About
Accidental Bid is a 3yo grey-bay colt trained by Ciaron Maher. He is by Phoenix Of Spain out of the dam Comnena. He has recorded two wins so far. On 19 Mar 2026 at Pakenham he secured his most notable triumph, the $45,000.00 Maiden Plate. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 7% return on investment.
