About
Designs Of Eight is a 5yo brown/black mare from Australia, trained by Maddie Raymond and Patrick Bell in Warrnambool. She is by Fiorente out of Montagonal. To date she has won two races, including her best victory on 1 Mar 2026 at Colac in the $22,000 0‑56 Hcp. Punters have found her profitable; backing her throughout her career would have delivered a 68% ROI.
