About

Inquiring Minds is a 6yo bay gelding trained by Tom Charlton. He is by Kingman out of Precious Ramotswe. To date he has recorded six victories, the most notable being the $160,000 3yo+ Benchmark 78 Handicap at Randwick on 28 Dec 2024. Punters have found him profitable; a lifelong backer would have realized a 12% return on investment.
