About
Gold Coast R10 THE THOROUGHBRED GIRLS GOLD COAST STAKES — Encoder is a 5yo brown or black gelding (male) from Australia trained by Michael Freedman, who is based at Randwick. He is sired by the stallion Encryption out of the dam Eight Below. Given that he is a stakes winner and has amassed $1,276,400 in career earnings, Encoder is regarded as a racehorse with above-average ability. On 16th Dec 2023 at Eagle Farm, Encoder was ridden by Damien Thornton and scored his most significant win to date, getting the money in the $300000.00 Grand Prix Stakes 3yo, defeating Kirikan. He has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed Encoder throughout his career you'd have achieved a 10% return on investment.
