About
Butterfly Babe is a 3yo bay filly from Australia, trained by Matt Laurie in Mornington (2). She is by Tagaloa out of Dundeel Star. She has secured one win in her career. On 17 March 2026 at Terang, she claimed her most important victory, taking the $32,000 Maiden Plate. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout would have yielded a 40% return on investment.
