About

Groom De Cotte is a 10yo b trained by G Brown that ran in the Chepstow R6 UB40 Live After Racing 24 July Handicap Hurdle. He is by Tiger Groom out of Traviata Valtat. So far he has secured two victories, the most significant being the $8,363 Cl5 Handicap at Huntingdon on 3 March 2025. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 25% return on investment.
