About
Ambushed is a 4yo bay/brown mare from Australia, trained by Craig Stewart in Millicent. She is by Sharkbite out of Fox On the Run and has recorded one win so far. On 8 February 2026 at Naracoorte she claimed her most important triumph, claiming the $19,500 3‑up Maiden Plate. The filly has proved profitable for gamblers; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 62% return on investment.
