About
Exaggeration is a 4yo brown gelding trained by Kevin & Stephen Gray at Copper Belt Lodge, Palmerston North. He is by Embellish out of Classic Belt. He has recorded three wins so far. On 24 Aug 2025 at Awapuni Synthetic he secured his biggest triumph, taking the $40,000 Benchmark 75 Handicap. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 72% return on investment.
