About

At the Belmont R4 Quayclean Handicap, Berbere is a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Donna Riordan. He is by Gingerbread Man out of the dam Habenera. He has tallyed four career wins. On 13 July 2024 at Belmont he notched his most important triumph, taking the $60,000 2yo+ Rest 1 Metro Win Handicap. He has proved to be a profitable runner for punters; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 73% return on investment.
