About
Happy And Fine is a 9yo gelding trained by A M Hales at Edgecote. He is by the stallion Balko out of the dam Richona and has secured five victories to date. On 30 Dec 2023 at Haydock, he claimed his biggest triumph, winning the $7922.00 Betfred Hot Shots Handicap Chase. The horse has been a rewarding return for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have produced a 9% return on investment.
