About

Hughes, a 6yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Gavin Bedggood, is by Russian Revolution out of No More Tears. He has won 7 races so far. On 14 June 2025 at Sandown Hillside, he claimed his most significant victory, taking the $150,000 Open Handicap. Punters have found him profitable; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 22% return on investment.
