About

Dodgy Element is a 4yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Darryl Dodson. His sire is Red Element and his dam is Ambition. He has recorded one win in his career so far. On 8 Oct 2025 at Mount Gambier, he achieved his most significant victory, taking the $23,000 3up Maiden Plate. He has been a profitable mount for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have generated a 42% return on investment.
