About
Instigator is a 12yo bay gelding trained by Aaron Purcell in Warrnambool. He is by the stallion Nayef out of the dam Imagery. He has recorded six wins so far. His biggest triumph came on 23 Aug 2020 at Ballarat, when he captured the $125,000 J.J. Houlahan Hurdle. He has been a lucrative choice for bettors, and backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 68% return on investment.
