About
Ancient Scent is a 5yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Declan Maher. Her sire is Deep Field and her dam is Haybah. To date she has recorded one victory. On 23 Jan 2026 at Gold Coast she captured the $40,000 Brolec Group Maiden Handicap, her most important win. Punters have found her to be a money‑maker; backing her across her career would have yielded a 60% ROI.
