About
Brave Xena is a 4yo bay mare from Australia, trained by Luke Pepper in Canberra. She is by Saxon Warrior out of Warrior Woman and has recorded three wins to date. On 28 Feb 2026 at Randwick she secured her biggest triumph, taking the $120000 Highway Class 3 Hcp. Punters have found her profitable; a career‑long backing would have delivered a 118% return on investment.
