About
Eight Pence is a 5yo bay gelding (male) trained by Lance Robinson at Riccarton Park. He is by Swiss Ace out of Maravilla. To date he has recorded three wins. His biggest triumph came on 12 Nov 2025 at Riccarton Park, when he secured the $65,000 3yo+ Maiden Set Weight With Allowances. He has been a solid value for bettors; a full‑career backing would have returned 105% on the investment.
