About
Bird's The Word is a 6yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Charlotte Skerritt in Bunbury. He is by Galah out of Wise Talk and has won nine races so far. On 29 June 2024 at Belmont he recorded his most important triumph, the $100,000 4yo+ Benchmark 58+ Handicap. The horse has proved lucrative for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 181% return on investment.
