About
Craftsman is a 6yo brown gelding trained by Howard Mathews. He is by the stallion Alamosa out of the mare Closing Time. Craftsman has recorded one win in his career. On 19 Jun 2026 at Woodville, he secured his biggest victory, taking the $17,000 Restricted 60 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout would have yielded a 3% return on investment.
