About
Acer, a 3yo bay filly trained by L O'Sullivan & A Scott in Matamata, is out of Sweet Treat and by Savabeel. As a stakes winner with $44,584 career earnings, she is considered above‑average. On 24 Jan 2026 at Pukekura Raceway, jockey Erin M Leighton guided her to her biggest victory, taking the $80,000 3yo Filly Open Set‑Weight and beating She Suits Herself. Punters who backed her throughout her career earned a 31% return on investment.
