About
Ginger Baker is a 9yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, trained by Daniel & Ben Pearce. He is by Gingerbread Man out of Spring Violet. A stakes winner with $746,155 in earnings, he is seen as possessing above‑average talent. On 6 Jul 2025 at Bunbury, Brad Parnham rode him to his biggest triumph, capturing the $125,000 3yo+ Open Set Weight With Penalties by beating Playhouse Patron. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; a lifetime backing would have generated a 4% return on investment.
