About
Maharba, a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, is trained by Grahame Begg. He is by Pride of Dubai out of Blizzardly. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $969,950, he is considered a horse of above‑average class. On 2nd Nov 2024 at Flemington, Jordan Childs rode Maharba to his biggest victory, the $200,000 Open Handicap, ahead of Rey Magnerio. Punters have found him lucrative; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 58% return on investment.
