About
Hovland, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by John O'Shea and Tom Charlton at Randwick. He is by Dundeel out of Rimraam and has recorded four career wins. On 25 July 2026 at Eagle Farm, he captured his biggest victory, winning the $75,000 Class 3 Plate for three‑year‑olds and older. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 70 % return on investment.
