About
Mad Max is a 5yo brown gelding trained by Andrew Forsman in Cambridge. He is by the stallion Savabeel out of the mare Maxmara. So far he has won two races, the highlight being the $75,000 Benchmark 65 Handicap at Ellerslie on 4 Nov 2025. He has proved to be a profitable runner for punters, delivering a 26% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
