About
Final Return is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Janelle Millar. He is by Reliable Man out of Kind Return. As a stakes winner with $256,791 in earnings, he is considered an above‑average racehorse. On 22 Nov 2025 at Pukekohe Park, ridden by Elen Nicholas, he captured his biggest victory to date in the $170,000 Open Handicap, beating Rosetown Princess. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 1% return on investment.
