About

Better Be Definite, an 8yo gelding trained by N W Alexander at Kinneston, is by the stallion Clovis Du Berlais out of the dam Definitely Better. The horse has secured two victories so far. Its most significant win came on 22nd May 2024 at Hexham, when it claimed the $4,779.00 Jayne Cragg 60th Birthday Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (Div 1). It has been a profitable runner for bettors; wagering on its entire career would have produced a 30% return on investment.
