About

Driving Force is an 8yo brown gelding from Australia trained by Darren Hyde in Dubbo. He is by Artie Schiller out of Raging Squall. To date he has captured six wins. On 13 March 2022 at Coonamble he earned his biggest victory, taking the $40,000 3yo&up Country Maiden Plate. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 32% return on investment.
