About
Leg Drive is a 4yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matt Laurie in Mornington. He is by the stallion Grunt out of Shantha's Girl. To date he has secured three victories. On 12th Dec 2025 at Cranbourne he captured his biggest prize, the $40,000 Bm62 Hcp. Punters have found him profitable; a full‑career backing would have yielded a 13% return on investment.
