About

Ma Baker is a 6yo bay mare trained by Vicki Prendergast. She is by Vanbrugh out of Joue Le Jeu. To date she has won 2 races. On 25 May 2025 at Ellerslie she claimed her biggest victory, taking the $25,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap. The mare has been a consistent money‑maker for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have yielded a 21% return on investment.
