About
Houdini, a 4yo bay gelding born in Australia and trained by Gavin Bedggood, is by Snitzel out of the mare Vergara. He has earned two wins, the highlight being the $40,000 Benchmark 64 Handicap at Pakenham on 15 May 2025. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors, offering a 25% return on investment for those who supported him throughout his career.
