About
Balaklava R8 BTR Excavations Benchmark 56 Handicap Big Mav is a 5yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Sarah Rutten. He is by Sir Prancealot out of Song of Gold. Big Mav has won 4 races to date. His biggest victory came on 24 Dec 2025 at Strathalbyn, where he captured the $25,000.00 prize in the Cg&e 0-56 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for punters, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 102% return on investment.
