About
Deliberate Ploy is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia trained by Robbie Griffiths. He is out of the dam Purrpussful and sired by the stallion Omaha Beach. So far he has secured one win. On 6th Mar 2026 at Pakenham he claimed his most important victory, taking the $60000.00 Maiden Plate. The horse has proven profitable for bettors; backing him through his career would have delivered a 183% return on investment.
