About
Bay Express is a 5yo bay gelding trained by Robbie Patterson in New Plymouth. He is by Shamexpress out of Amaya. To date he has won four races. On 10 January 2026 at Wanganui he captured his biggest victory, the $40,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. He has been a profit‑making runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 58% return on investment.
