About
Bad Forest is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Jesse Townsend, Ipswich. He is by Kobayashi out of Sugar Sizzle. He has achieved two wins, the biggest coming in the $30000.00 Maiden Handicap at Ipswich on 30th May 2024. He has been a profitable runner for punters; a career‑long backing would have returned 113% on the investment.
