About
Hollywood Epic, a 5yo bay or brown gelding from Australia, is trained by Renita Beaton on the Gold Coast. He is by Shamus Award out of American Joy and has recorded five career victories. On 8 Nov 2025 at Gold Coast, he captured his biggest triumph, winning the $28,000 Ch&g Benchmark 58 Handicap. The horse has been a worthwhile bet for punters, delivering a 95% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
