About
His Finest Hour is a 5yo brown gelding trained by Neil Dyer. He is by the stallion Proisir out of Ipanema Girl. He has recorded three wins so far. On 26 Jan 2026 at Hanging Rock he earned his most important victory, capturing the $40000.00 Hanging Rock Cup. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; a career‑long backing would have produced a 54% return on investment.
